HALIFAX,  N.  S.,  April  i;2. — Late  re- 
ports recelviMl  liere  Inrtlcato  that  tho 
cable  steamer  Mackny-Bonnett  has  re- 
covered the  bodies  of  fifty-three  vic- 
Mnia  of  tho  Titanic  disaster.  That  some 
have  not  been  Identified  was  made  cer- 
tain when  the  Mackay-Bcnnett  sent  a 
wireless  sayins;  that  those  bodies  not 
embalme<i   would  be   burled  at  sea. 

The  Hev.  K.  C.  Hind  of  the  Church  of 
Kngland  was  taken  along  on  the  cable 
ship,  and  to  him  fell  the  duty  tonight 
of  conductinK-  the  services  >  for  those 
who    again    were    consigned    to    the    sea. 

Rush  order.s  were  received  hero  to- 
day to  prepare  another  steamer  to  go 
in  search  of  the  dead.  The  cable  ship 
Mlnia  was  chartered  and  local  under- 
takers placed  IGO  coffins  on  board. 
-.vhlle  100  tons  of  Ico  were  stored  away 
la  the  hold.  A  quantity  of  iron  wn.s 
also  placed  on  board  to  be  u.scd  in  bury- 
Inff    the    unidentified. 

The  Minla  Is  under  orders  to  meet 
the  Mackay-Bcnnelt.  The  Kev.  Mr. 
Vlind  will  be  transferred  tu  the  Miniu 
and  the  Mackay-Bennett  then  will  ^iro- 
ceed  to  port  with  the  dead.  The  Mlnia 
started  late  tonight. 


SUCCOR  WAS  ONLY 

FIVE    MILES    AWAY 

\VA»HIXaTOX,  April  22.— With  suc- 
cor only  Ave  miles  away  the  Titanic 
slid  into  her  watery  grave,  carrying 
with  her  mora  than  16U0  of  the  pas- 
senKern  and  crew,  while  an  unidentified 
steamer  lliat  inlshl  have  saved  all,  fell- 
ed, or  refused,  to  see  the  frantic  slg- 
nals    of    those    on    board. 

Thla  tragic  feature  of  the  disaster 
was  brought  out  today  before  the  senate 
Investigating  loiiimlttce  when  J.  Box- 
hall,  fourth  ofllcer  of  the  Titanic,  told 
of  hla  unsuccessful  attempt  to  attract 
tlirj  steamer's  utlentlou.  ACOOrdlnK-  to 
Boxhall  she  could  nut  have  been  more 
than  live  miles  away  and  was  steaming 
toward  lilt)  Tttaulc.  So  clo.=;o  was  siic 
that  from  the  bridge  Boxhall  plainly 
saw  the  masthead  lights  and  sidelights. 
Both  vvlth  rockets  and  with  the  Morse 
electric  sl^nalH  did  the  yountr  ofllecr 
hail  tlie  stranger.  Captain  Smith  and 
several  othera  in  tho  vicinity  of  the 
bridge  said  at  the  time  their  belief  was 
that  the  vesselliad  seen  tiiem  and  was 
signalling  in  reply.  Boxhall  failed  to 
see  the  replieo,  however,  and  In  any 
case  the  steamer  kept  on  her  course, 
obliquely  Past  the  Titanic  without  ex- 
tending aid. 

This  and  tlie  assertion  by  P.  A.  S.

The  committee  will  reStMffe'ltiis  hear- 
ing tomorrow.  JTonrth  Oftlcer  Boxhall  Is 
expected  to  appear  on  tlie  stand  to  tell 
more  fully  of  the  events  immediately 
preceding   the   collision.

"Ye*.  Bin  I  could  aee  it  dimly;  It  lay 
low  and  about  a«  hi«h  a«  the  lower  rail 
of  the  ahlp.  or  about  80  feet  above  the 
water.  He  had  Kreat  difficulty  In  •aelng 
the  berg,  which  he  aald  waa  a  dark  grey 
color. 

Boxhall  said  he  went  down  to  the 
steerage  and  Inspected  all  the  decke  in 
tl:e  vicinity  of  the  frhlp  where  ehe  struck 
There  were  no  traces  of  any  datnaite 
and  he  went  directly  to  the  bridge  and 
fell  reported. 

"The  captain  ordered  me  to  aend  •he 
carpc-ntur  to  sound  the  ship,  but  I  found 
a  carpenter  coming  up  with  the  an- 
nouncement that  the  ship  was  taklnr 
water.  In  the  mall  room  I  found  mall 
sacks  floating-  abouut  wliile  the  clerks 
were  at  work.  I  went  to  the  bridge  and 
reported  and  the  captain  ordered  tho 
lifeboats  to  be  made  ready." 

Boxliall  testified  that  ho  took  Captain 
fimltii's  orders  to  tlie  wireless  operator 
with   the  siiip's  po.sitlon. 

"What  position  was  that?" 

'•41.46  North,  50.14   We,st." 

"Was  that  the  last  position  taken?" 

"Yes;  the  Titanic  blood  not  far  from 
there  when  she  sank." 

After  that  Boxhall  went  back  to  the 
lifeboats  where  there  were  many  men 
and  women.     He  said  they  had  llfebelt.s.

prominent  who  perislied,  unless  it  be 
.that  of  George  W.  Widen,  sent  by 
wireless  refers  to  George  D.  Wldner, 
of  Philadelphia.  The  ogiglnal  pas- 
.senger  list  of  the  Titanic  did  not  men- 
tion "Widen,''  which  api)arently  es- 
tablishes the  identity  of  tho  I'ody  as

The  wirelo.'i.s  messsige.  after  lifting 
the  namoM,  concluded,  "All  preserved," 
presumably  referring  to  the  condition 
of  the  bodies.  A  number  of  names  In 
the  list  do  not  check  up  with  the.  Ti- 
tanic passenger  list,  whioli  leads  to  the 
belief  that  a  number  of  the  bodies  re- 
covered   are    members    of    tlu;    crew. 

The  White  Star  officials  stale  many 
of  the  names  sent  were  badly  garbled 
by  wireless  telegraph  operators  ac- 
quainted with  both  tile  Morse  and  Con- 
tinental codes  speculated  as  to  whether 
the  names  of  Major  Archibald  Butt  and 
Colonel  John  Jacob  A.stor  were  intend- 
ed In  two  Instances,  but  they  coubl 
come  to  no  decision  tliat  would  prove 
trustworthy  In  such  a  case.  In  the  list 
ns  It  came  the  following  combination 
appeared:  "Nihil  Schdig  U.  B.  Atatt," 
which,  operators  say,  misht  have  been 
intended  for  Major  Butt's  name.  A 
similar  combination  Is  the  name  "Col- 
as Baser,"  a  name  which  the  White 
iiltar  line  could  not  account  for,  and 
telegraph  operators  thouglu  might  bo 
Colonel  Astor's.  The  White  Star  line 
deapatched  a  mcs-sage  In  an  effort  to 
dear  up  such  questionable  Interpreta- 
tion, and  for  this  and  the  po.sslble  re- 
ceipt of  further  names  the  offices  will 
remain   open   all    night.

distress  rockets  until  I  left  the  ship  to 
try  to  attract  the  attention  of  a  ship 
directly  ahead,  1  had  seen  her  lights. 
She  seemed  to  be  ncarlng  us  and  waa 
not    far    away." 

"She  got  close  enough  to  send  to

ATTENTION    TO    DUTY 


"Did  you  see  the  captain  frequently 
on   Sunday   night?" 

"Yes,  sir:  sometimes  on  the  upper 
deck,  sometimes  in  the  chart  room; 
sometimes  on  the  bridge,  and  sometimes 
in   the  wheelhouse." 

"Was  the  captain  on  the  bridtre  or  at 
any  of  the  other  places  when  you  'were 
on    the  'watch   at  S   o'clock?" 

"N'o,  Blr;  I  first  saw  the  cantBln  about 
pine  o'clock." 

"Did  yo\i  see  Mr.  lamay  witl\  tlie  rap- 
tain  on  the  bridge  or  in  the  wheel- 
house?" 

"No,  sir;  not  until  after  the  accl- 
dtnt. 

"Did  you  know  when  he  dined  that 
night,   where  he  dined,   or  with  whom?" 

"No,  sir."  Boxhall  said  he  did  not  be- 
lieve the  captain  had  been  away  from 
the  vicinity  of  the  bridge  at  any  time 
durng  the  watch. 

"When  did  you  net,  tlie  captain  last?" 
asked   Senator   Smith. 

"When  he  ordered  me  to  go  away  in 
the  boat." 

"Did  you  see  what  occurred  at  the 
time  of  the  collsion?" 

"No,  I  could  not  see." 

"Did  you  hear?" 

"Yes,  the  senior  officer  said,  'We  have 
struck   an   Iceberg.'  " 

"Wa.s  there  any  ic«>  on  the  decks?" 

"Just  a  little  on  the  lower  deck.  1 
heard   the  sharp  report  of  rasping." 


"What  did  you  see  of  the  ship?"

Death  of  Mr.  C.  M.  Hays 


VANCOUVKU,  B.  C,  April  22.-^-^™©  In- 
quest  on  John  Richard  Speare,  -who  died 
through  drinking  poison  at  hia  home 
btre  on  March  17th.  furnished  a  sen- 
flcnsational  ending  this  evening  when  a 
verdict  that  amounts  to  murder,  '  by 
»iome  persons  unknown,  was  returned. 
The  Jury  found  that  the  drinking  was 
accidental,  but  that  the  poison  had  been 
maliciou.'sly  placed  in  the  position  found. 
The  poison  used  is  commonly  known 
.Ts  hemlock  and  was  not  proeurable  in 
Vancouver,  siiid  Dr.  L'ndtrhill,  and  It 
reminded  him  of  the  death  scene  from 
"Romto  and  Juliet."  TI.e  theory  advanc- 
cvl  was  that  as  the  contents  of  yie  bot- 
tle looked  like  whiskey  or  brandy, 
Speare  took  it.  How  deadly  the  drug 
was  In  Its  effects  'was  «hown  by  the 
I  fact  that  the  fumes  alone  almost  over- 
powered Dr.  Unuerhiii.  A  iaaie  uC  it 
gives  the  feeling  that  the  one  who 
drinks  It  Is  going  to  lose  the  use  of 
his  limb.o.  A  cat  died  In  a  minute  and 
a  half,  and  two  mice  died  before  he 
could  draw  his  watch  from  his  pocket 
to  time  the  length  of  their  lives  after 
he    touched   tlielr   noses    with    the    fluid. 

The  Jury  recommended  that  the  au- 
thorities take  vigorous  action  to  find 
the    guilty    party    or    parties.

OTTAWliV,  Ont,  April  22.— Follow- 
ing the  Titanic  disaster,  deputy  min- 
ister Johnson  of  the  Dominion  Murine 
Department  today  issued  an  order  to 
the  acting  chairman,  Mr.  Adams,  of 
the  steamboat  inapectloii  board,  to 
proceed  here  at  once,  and  the  chief  of- 
ficials of  the  department  will  meet  in 
conference  as  to  the  necessity  fur 
changes  In  the  present  methods  of  In- 
spection. Hitherto  each  vessel  carry- 
ing passengers  to  Canadian  ports  got 
an  iiniiual  cerUfleate  stating  that  It 
had  been  Inspected  and  fulfilled  the  re- 
quirements for  life-.'»aving  appliances. 
This  yearly  inspection  on  each  vessel 
usually  took  place  in  June  and  July. 
Arrangements  are  now  being  made 
here  to  act  In  conjunction  with  the. 
British  board  of  trade  in  the  matter  of 
inspection. 

Information  has  reached  here  that 
improved  methods  for  the  carrying  of 
H,fe-saving  appliances  will  be  enforced 
by  the  (Brilish  board  of  trade.  BeaWfcig 
the  necessity  for  more  lifeboats  the 
question  of  discipline,  especially  on 
immigrant  ships,  will  be  taken  up.  It 
ia  not  unlikely  that  the  Italian  method 
of  emigrant  ships  will  be  adopted,  b.v 
which  a  trained  royal  navy  officer  is 
sent  with  each  boat  and  In  moments  of 
danger  he  will  assume  the  rCJ^onslbU- 
Ity  for  discipline,  while  the  captain 
will  look  after  the  ship.  The  deputy 
h*s  'been  busy  collecting  data  and  not 
only  will  present  rules  for  the  safety 
of  pasisengers  which  will  be  enforced, 
but  others  more  far  reaching  In  their 
effect  will  be  brought  into  play.  One 
document  on  the  files  will  show  that 
not  only  are  the  present  rules  inade- 
quate, but  that  according  to  the  pres- 
ent Ideas  on  the  number  of  lifeboats 
on  passenger  shlp.s  all  over  the  world, 
2496  persons  travellhg  weekly,  are 
totally  unprovided  for  in  case  of 
disaster.  ;

known  municiiial  engineers  of  the  Uo- 
Miinion,  or  Intleefl,  «f  America,  will  bo 
the  next  city  engineer  of  Victoria,  in 
.svicces.sion  tO;  -Mr.  Angu.s  Smith,  who 
will  sever  his  connection  with  the  city 
at  the  end  of  ne.vt  month.  The  city 
council  lii^l  rvenlns  adoiHetl  the  re- 
port of  the  special  committee  ap- 
pointed to  report  upon  the  best  method 
of  securing  sm  engineer. 

The  committee  reported  that  after 
havinj;  got  into  touch  with  several  en- 
gineers communication  was  entered 
Into -with  Mr.  Rust.'  with  the  result 
thiit  Ke  e.\-pres.sea  hla  willingness  to 
come  to  Victoria  at  ;«  salary  of  $6,500 
per  annum.  Mr.  Smith  is  nmv  getting 
$3,500  a   year. 

Alderman  futlibert  iiuide  strenuoii.'* 
protest  at  what  he  considered  the 
high-handed  action  of  the  committee, 
which,  he  iieclared,  had  been  appoint- 
ed merely  to  make  a  recommeiulatlon 
and  not  to  virtually  enter  into  nego- 
..•_i:^,_..  with  any  inrllvldnal.  lU- 
urged  that  an  advertisement  be  in- 
sented  in  the  local  and  eastern  piiper. 
and    applications   be   sought. 

Alderman  tlleason  referred  to  Mr. 
Rust's  well  known  reputation  as  an  en- 
gineer. For  14  years  he  had  been  head 
of  the  Toronto  department  of  works 
and  was  known  far  and  wide  as  a 
capable  man.  Victoria  would  be  for-

this  work,  a  complaint  to  which  tho 
comnany  had.not  deltfned  to  uialte  re- 
ply, there  could  be  nothing  left  for  the 
council    but    to   oust    tAo    contractors. 

.\lderman  Gleason  submitted  the  re- 
solution, finally  adopted  by  the  council. 
a:i,i  pointed  out  that  when,  five  months 
aK«.  the  city  counell  awartled  the  con- 
tract to  the  Weslholine  L,umbcr  com- 
pany 111-  iuid  expre.ssed.  .satisfacllon 
that  such  u  lovv  figure  as  Jl, 160. 750 
liiiil  been  secured  by  the  city.  It  waa 
a  Ineal  company,  and  It  had  been  felt 
Ih.-u  il  •.vrnilil  ho  a  good  thing  for  Vic- 
toria that  local  men  should  secure  the 
work.  But,  in  view  of  the  report  of 
the  city's  engineers,  it  Is  manifest  that 
the  city  could  not  afford  to  longer  per- 
mit of  delay  in  a  work  of  so  much  im- 
portance. 

Kbonid/ 1Hrav9    Kept   Cheqn« 

Of  one  thing  he  was  sorry.  The 
cit.v  slioold  not  have  returned  to  the 
company  its  chetpte  put  up  as  a  deposit 
tliat  if  awarded  the  contract  it  would 
enter  into  it.  That  chetiue  for  $21.(100 
had  been  returned  witliout  bis  sanction. 
However,  he  believed  that  tie  things 
had  been  proved  by  the  engineer,  .  U 
would  bo  safer  to  see  the  work  en- 
trusted to  the  city  engineer  and  water 
commissioner. 

Aldernum  Stewart  dtcbued  the  com- 
r^ny  did  not  ujjpcar  lo  be  partieula^rly 
worried  about  carrying  out  the  con- 
tract, and  at  the  present  rate  of  pro- 
gress it  would  be  eight  years  befoi« 
water  was  being  delivered  instead  of 
two  years  aa  called  for  i4i  tin-  imn- 
tract. 

Alderman  Cuthhert  dubbed  the  ac- 
tions of  last  ye«r's  council  "unbusinoss- 
ilki!  and  shameful."  The  last  year's 
council  by  "its  action  in  doing  away

antee company  and.  Instead,  accepting 
tin  increalse  in  the  h'dd-back  from  fif- 
teen to  forty  per  cent,  liad  placed  the 
present  council  in  a  jiosltion  where  it 
has  no  option  but  to  make  the  worst  of 
a  bad  job.  Thare  had  never,  he  deelare<l, 
been  a  piere  of  municipal  business  more 
badly  btm;;led  than  was  the  (^ooke  lake

The  report,  which  was  signed  by 
Aldermen  Stewart.  AnderJ(on  and

that:  "Wo  made  a  number  of  inquiries,

His  worship  j-eferred  to  nev\w|>a|»er 
comiripnt  giving  the  Impression  that  he 
had  delayed  in  taking  action.  Inii  he 
pointed  out  tliat  under  the  Ciiiitract  no 
action  could  be  taken  within  tliree 
montliH  of  the  slKUlng  of  the  contract 
and  that  Just  a.s  soon  as  the  compan.v 
hart  been  shown  by  the  report  of  tlie 
city's  engineers  not  to  l)e  living  up 
to  the  teiiiiH  of  its  contract,  he  bad 
ucttKl.  It  had  been  foimd  that  the  com- 
pany has  failed  In  practically  every  Im- 
portant   particular. 

Hot  a  Kan  To   Be  Kandled 

"Kven  were  the  rnayor  a  man  who 
could  bo  handled,  as  the  evening  paper 
suggests,"  declared  the  mayor,  ■'he  was 
in  no  poflltion  to  Interfere.  We  can  put 
it  off  for  a  w«ek  or  a  monlb,  but  our 
engineer's  refiort  gives  us  the  only  so- 
lution  and   we   should   act  at   once." 

The  mayor  explained  that  he  did  not 
wish  to  criticize  last  year's  council,  but 
the  then  committee's  action  in  deciding 
to  in(^re«iBe  the  liold-back  In  lieu  of  a 
bond  had  been  a  mistake.  Tlvere  was 
apparently  strong  reason  for  the  then 
mayor  advocating  such  a  step.  The 
speclflcatlons  called  for  a  ten  per  cent 
bond.  To  carry  out  the  contract  and 
secure  the  necessary  right  of  way  for 
the  pipe  line  would  have  cost  at  that 
time  at  least  11,500,000.  To  accept-  the 
next  lowest  tender  would  have  "coat  the 
city  much  more.  The  ex-mayor  had,  on 
the  public  platform,  declared  that  the 
development  work  could  be  carried  wlth- 
tp  the  million  ar<d  one-half  mark  declar- 
?4.t*?o  y*"»r"  •LStd  to  .b?.  th*?  /••(♦.■Id? 
rtgure,  and  in  hts  anxiety  to  keep  with- 
in the  flgiire  he  recommended  tlo  In- 
crease In  th«i  hold-back  and  the  doing 
away  with  the  ten  per  cent  band. 

Mayor  Bcckwith.  also  rtTarrwl.  to  the 
ortticism  Wbivii  had  b«an  lovbled  against

The  spfcclflcatlons  read  that  the  cheque 
should  be  returned  when  a '  good  and 
sufficient  bond  was  put  up  by  the,  com- 
pany, but  last  year's  council,  by  Its 
action  in  accepting  an  Increase  In  hold- 
i'ack  in  lieu  of  bopd.  had  rendered  it 
necessary  that  the  checpie  should  he 
retui-ned.  Tuking  tlie  average  of  the 
bids  offered  for  the  work  the  company's 
bond  shouli!  iiava  been  at  a  llKUre  of 
*li)0,Ui)O  instead  of  some  Jll'i.OOO. 

"I  have  repeatedly  attempted  to  as- 
certain (he  bona  tides  of  the  Wesiholme 
Lumber  company,"  declared  his  worship, 
"but  1  now  believe  tiie  city  is  simply

.\lderman  (.ileason,  in  introcUn-in«  lii.s

there  was  only  one  ste])  for  the  city 
to  take,  that  was  to  put  the  conlrac-

acting  In  a  bona  liilo  manner  It  would

Further  evidenco  of  the  activity  Ola- 
pU.ved  In  connection  with  the  prelimin- 
ary arrangements  for  the  conatructlon 
of  the  Pac-lflc  Great  Eastern  railway,  to 
connect  Fart  George  witl.  Vancouver, 
was  brought  to  the  city  of  Victoria  yes- 
terday by  kr.  Patrick  Welch,  yice-pr^s- 
UltMit  and  senior  manager  of  the  newly 
chartered  comi>any,  ami  a  leading  mem- 
bbv  of  the  great  contracting  tlrni  of 
Foley,  Wblch  and  Btweart  whose  name 
Is  well  known  In  VVeHter'n  CHn«da  on  ac- 
count of  its  work  on  tho  G.  T.  P..  Mr. 
Welch  had  just  cams  up  •  from  the

Tate,  vicfe-presidont  and  genpral  counsel 
of  the  company,  who  has  gone  to  I-ion- 
don  to  complete  the  financial  arrange-

An  almost  entire  laclc  of  interference 
with  gangH  at  present  at  work  upon  the 
paving  programme  of  the  Canadian 
Mineral  Ktibber  company  was  exptrl- 
enced  yesterday,  and  with  the  steady 
retura  ot  workmen  to  ttaeir  lobe  the 
company  was  enabled  to  carry  on  work 
at  a  more .  rapid  rate  than  at  any  time 
alnce  the  Inception  of  the  present 
strike. 

Police  protection  is  still  being  afford- 
ed to  the  company's  men,  but  with  the 
exception  of  a  stray  picket  or  two  from 
the  ranks  of  the  disaffected  workmen, 
no    troubU;    haa    been    experienced. 

The  company's  officials  predict  that 
within  II  day  or  tffo  full  gangs  will  be 
at  work  and  the  bl  g))avlng  programme 
will  be  rushed  ahead.

Is  Accepted 


pro.spects  of  getting  down  to  nrtual 
work  on  the  line,  Mr.  Welch  ,;..;  rl 
that  during  the  absence  of  Mr.  Tate 
in  li.igland,  things  were  not  being  al- 
lowed to  1ft  fr. 

Before  Mr.  Tate  had  taken  his  depar- 
ture he  had  seen  a  number  of  survey 
parties  put  into  the  field,  and  he  (Mr. 
Welch),  had  come  north  to  take  up  the 
work  where  It  had  been  left  off,  and  to 
sec  that  it  was  pushed  ahead  with  all 
possible  speed.  Ho  pointed  out  that  at 
tho  present  time  the  routt  is  being  sur- 
veyed and  reports  are  coming  in.  but 
so  far  he  Is  not  in  a  position  to  give 
out  any  statement  as  to  what  exact  line 
will  be  taken.  In  a  few  wetks  the  re- 
port of  all  the  camps  will  be  in  the 
head  ottico  and  thereafttr  the  route  will 
be    decided    upon. 

Proapeota   for   I<abor 

Another  Important  matter  that  is  oc- 
cupying tho  attention  of  Mr.  Welch  on 
hi.<:  present  visit  Is  the  condition  of  the 
labor  market.  He  rfcallze.«i  that  while  it 
may  be  .several  months  before  any  con- 
tract for  the  work  can  be  let  it  will  be 
necessary  for  him,  In  view  of  the  pres- 
ent condition  of  unrest,  to  investigatb.' 
the  situation  thoroughl.v  and  «ee  what 
arrangements  can  he  made  in  ordpr  to 
avert  a  repetition  of  what  happened  on 
the  C.  N.  R.  construction.  The  construc- 
tion of  the  lint  will  employ  a  large 
number  of  men,  and  whll»  he  does  not 
anticipate  any  particular  dlfTlcuUy  In 
obtaining  them  he  l.s  desirous  that  once 
the  work  is  started  its  progress  will  not 
be  ImpcdeKl  or  interfertd  with  unneces- 
sarily. Having  been  in  the  contracting 
business  for  many  years,  Mr.  Welch 
(iocs  not  anticipate  much  difficulty  in 
laying  out  the  route  or,  when  that  ia 
done  in  having  it  constructed  on  time. 
In  this  province  he  has  conducted  a 
number      of      important      construction,!! 

experience  In   this  regard   will   stand  him 
in    good    stead. 

Win   start  Promptly 

On  being  asked  as  to  when  the  actual 
construction  would  be  commenced  he  re- 
plied that  It  would  commtnce  as  soon  as 
the  route  Was  located,  and  he  expected 
to  be  done  in  a  very  i;<jw  months.  Of 
course  tenders  would  have  to  be  calltd 
for  the  work  in  sections,  and  it  was 
probable,  in  his  opinion  In  view  of  all 
the  detailed  clrcumsta.ncos  that  would 
have  to  be  attended  to,  that  the  actual 
work  would  start  with  the  spring  of 
nfext  year.  The  question  as  to  how 
long  It  would  take  to  construct  the  line 
elicited  the  reply  that  he  had  figured  It 
out  at  three  year.s  at  the  outside.  He 
alao  stflted,  however,  that  any  doflnitt; 
reply  to  such  a  question  was  Impossible 
on  account  of  the  mnay  unforseen  cir- 
cumstances involved  in  the  work.  Tle- 
gardle.s.s  of  that  he  said  KpecificnUy 
thai  not  an  hour  would  he  lost.  For  a 
moment  ht.  dwelt  upon  the  configuration 
of  the  country,  pointing  out  Its  moun- 
tainous nature  would  render  construc- 
tion more-,  tedious  and  more  dlfflcnlt  that 
it   would  otherwise  be. 

Mr.  Welch  gave  out  the  statement 
that  the  work  would  be  conducted  from 
both  ends  slmultantoualy.  and  that  as 
soon  as  the  survey  were  completed  and 
approved,  contracts  would  be  let  for  the 
first  sections.  In  the  country  abutting 
on  the  Fraaer  river,  Mr.  Welch  thought 
the  contractors  would  find  their  moat 
difficult  work,  but  taken  all  over  he 
did  not  think  that,  the  conatructlon  of 
the  line  would  offer  any  particular  dif- 
ficulties. 

▼lotorla  Keada  AU 

Mr.  Welch  haa  Juat  returned  from  a 
tour  of  the  coaat  cltlea  In  which  hia 
firm  have.  Intereats.  He  reporta  grtat 
activity  all  along  the  line  and  statea 
that  everywhere  people  ar*  getting 
reftdy  for  the  opening  of  the  Panama 
Canal.  In  that  connection  he  pointed  out 
that  the  completion  of  the  Pacific  Great 
EABtern  would  practically  aynchronl|»e 
with  tile  oompleilon  of  that  vreat  ^< 
terway,  and  that  in  the  natural  ord^r  of 
thlnga  they  would  Income  very  closely 
related.  To  hia  mind  the  proposition

NEW  YORK.  April  22.-~Tho  tender  of 
the  friendly  offices  of  representatives 
of  the  federal  government  called  a  halt 
tonight  to  a  strike  of  railroad  engin- 
eers in  the  terri'tt'ry  extendi.'^s  north  '-«■' 
the  Potomac  river.  The  mediation  of 
federal  officials  came  immediately  after 
the  refusal  of  the  managers  r>f  fifty  rail- 
roads to  concede  the  demands  for  an 
eighteen  per  cent  Increase  in  wages, 
when  chief  Warren  S.  Btone  of  the 
HroHierhooLl  of  L.ooDmotive  Engintiers 
had  armounced  that  in  view  of  this  ro- 
lusal  a  -strike  of  engineer.s  would  go 
into    effect    within   thirty-six    hours. 

Knowing  the  situation  had  reached  a 
critical  stage  Martin  A.  Kntipp,  presid- 
ing justice  of  the  United  States  com- 
meixe  court,  and  Charles  P.  Nelll.  com- 
missioner of  labor,  hurried  here  from 
Washington  and  as  soon  as  the  break 
occurred,  they  addressed  a  letter  both 
to  CiiitJi  Stone  and  iu  j.  C.  Siucii'l,  chair- 
man of  the  conference  of  railway  man- 
agers, saying  that,  a  grave  situation 
had  arisen  and  the  sense  of  duty  im- 
pelled tlieni  to  tender  tUeir  "friendly 
offices, '•  in  the  hopes  that  some  means 
might  be  found  to  adjust  the  questions 
iu  dispute  wlllioui  the  calamity  of  a 
general  strike, 

Althougli  Chief  Stone  a  few  minutes 
before  li«d  said  his  associates  of  the 
engineers  committee  said  they  would 
call  a  strike,  were  impressed  with  tlie 
letter  and  met  again  and  voted  to  ac- 
cept the  proi)oaal  of  Messrs^.  Knapp 
and    Nelll    for    mediation. 

It  was  sttid  by  leaders  tnat  :i4,000 
men  would  be  affected  by  a.  strike  or- 
der. Of  these  25,700  are  members  of  the 
Urotlierhood  of  Locomotive  Engineers 
and  about  6500  are  in  the  Brotherhood 
of  Firemen  and  Kngtnemen,  who  the 
en^inemen  declart;  will  Join  the  strike. 
"I'he  rest  are  non-union  men,  wlio  Chief 
.-^lone  said  nave  jomea  in  tne  stniro 
vote  passed  by  the  Brotherhood. 
The  railroads  affected  include:

l.y  Mr.  Mevfdith,  but  of  what  seems 
to    hnvo    been    tlieir    plain    duly    io    Uie 

city. 

In  dfcldiiig  to  treat  tlie  rigiUs  of 
the  contractor*  as  forfeited,  the  Coun- 
cil has  taken  tlie  only  course  that 
seemed  oijen.  To  permit  tlie  work  to 
•be  carried  on  as  it  ha.s  been  would  be 
to  make  a  mockery  of  a  great  public 
undertaking.  We  greatly  regret  tlic 
unfortynate  c^rcuniBtancea  that  have 
arisen,  and  especially  because  a  local 
firra  i,<i  involved  in  them.  But  the  pub- 
lic welfare  must  be  Uie  first  con.sid- 
eration.  and  this  demanded  prompt  and 
decisive   action   by   the   Council. 

AK  WWWAKKAHTBD   ATTACK 

With  that  customary  sense  of  in- 
justice wlticii  has  become  a  habit  In 
tlie  treatment  of  public  affairs,  the 
evening:  paper  yesterday  made  an  en- 
tirely im warranted  attack,  on  Mayor 
Beckwitli,  holding  him  responsible  for 
the  delay  which  has  taken  place  in  tha 
carrying  out  of  the  Sooko  Lake  Water- 
works pro.iect.  By  the  terms  of  the 
contrftct  entered  into  with  the  West- 
holme  Xjumber  Company  by  last  year's 
council  three  month.'!  must  have  elapsed 
ri'Oiii  the  =l5Ti-~r:  "*  -bni  document- un- 
til any  action  could  he  taken.  In  other 
words,  the  company  wa.<i  to  have  car- 
ried out  «  per  cent,  of  the  work  within 
three  montlis  from  the  time  the  con- 
tract was  siKUed.  This  document  ob- 
tained tho  signature  of  Mayor  Beck- 
with  on  January  l.i  of  this  ycir.  and 
on  April  l'>  Uie  three  month.s  men- 
tioned had  expired.  To  these  who  do 
not  seek  to  make  political  capital  out 
of  a  matter  which  affeots  Victoria  so 
vitally  it  must  therefore  be  apparent 
that  Mayor  Beckwith  look  th.»  earlU-jJt 
possible  opportunity  of  seeing  that  the 
Interest.H  of  the  city  were  safeguarded. 
No  one  but  the  most  bigoted  opponent 
of  his  worship  could  hold  him  respon- 
sible for  the  l^rms  "f  a  contract  drawn 
up  during  the  regime  of  his  predeces- 
sor in  office  and  endorsed  by  the  peo- 
pie   at   the   last   municlpel    election. 

KITOKSirXB    XH    BOTPT 

It  will  be.  recalled  that  when  JLord 
Kitchener  wa.s  sent  to  Kgyiit  there  was 
a  great  outcry  ag-inst  the  burial  of 
talents  such  as  his  in  tho  land  of  the 
iPhanaohi*.  Just  what  there  .was  for 
him  to  do  anywhere  el--  was  not  ob- 
vious, except  to  those  people  who 
thought  that  the  United  Kingdom  ought 
forthwith  to  adopt  the  Continental  oon- 
«cription  system.  That  the  British 
people  have  the  least  intention  of  sub- 
mitting to  conscription  does  not  enter 
the  mind  of  any  person  who  is  In  totich 
with  the  sentiment  of  the  country,  and 
It  wa«  well  pointed  out  at  the  time  of 
hia  appointment  to  his  present  position 
that  to  condemn  a  man  of/  his  excep- 
tional powers  to  the  humdrum  rouUne 
of  w*r  Office  programmes  wonW  be  llko 
hltoblnc  a  tborouchbrcd  to  a  dump 
cart.  Thwe  baa  been  a  sufficient  lapse 
of  time  since  his  appointment  to  Justify 
ttia  «UtUmcnt  that  Esypt  needed  hina 
and  that  bo  other  man  was  anything 
like  »B  wen  fitted  for  the  really  very 
g«^t  wotk  td  t>«  done  there.  Lord 
Cs-pmtr 'WM  a  man  of  treat  executive

ed. H»  wM  aa  office  ntatk.  Ha  took

th||  oMfldaMa  of  «o^^lii«l.itia»«*  and  fin- 


•pectacntar  «a  dear  to  the  Oriental 
mind.  From  the  bevlnnlng  to  the  end 
he  was  an  Kncliitbman  iu  BKYPt.  Uc 
failed  to  fit  Into  the  atmosphere  of  the 
country. 

Wliat  we  hear  of  KUclianer  shows  us 
a  man  of  an  (.iniost  opposite  type  to 
his  distinguished  predecessor.  He  ha* 
surrounded    himself    with  '    much      stalw 

Agency  are  wide  open  to  all  who  choose 
to  enter  to  transact  business  with  the 
chief:  but  uniform.s  are  in  evidence,  and 
the  visitor  is  ijiade  to  feel  that  he  Is 
about  to  be  ushered  Into  the  presence 
of  a  man  of  power.  When  the  suitor 
for  Justice  meets  Kitchener  he  ^Js  put 
at  Ills  ease  immediately.  The  humblest 
fellaheen  or  the  most  important  local 
chief  receives  the  same  welcome,  and 
it  is  from  a  man  who  speeks  to  them 
in  llielr  own  iaivguage  and  Is  full  of 
that  sympathy  for  them  wliich  can  only 
lonie  from  a  knowledge  oT  their  posi- 
tion. He  is  gentleness  itself  iinloHS  it 
becomes  nece.ssary  to  assert  his  author- 
ity, ."itiiil  the  Egyptian  administrator 
of  a  distrift,  "1  cannot  riiaiiila,lii  ord- 
er." "Very  well."  said  Kitchener,  "1 
can."  The  Egyptian  said  he  would  lito 
to  be  allowed  to  try  once  more.  This 
man  of  iron,  this  personification  of 
dauntless  courag'e  and  indomitable  rc- 
Kal'.ttlon  Is  acting;  5"=  •<  'utor  to  the 
most  extraordinary  people  In  the  world. 
For  i-entui-l'-s  K;?ypt  tms  :  beeu  ■  ac-eus- 
omed  to  be  governed;  Kitchener  13 
teaching  the  people  how  to  goverir

theories  or  by  talking  platitudes  about 
■  .!--->..    ■.-;r,p;!t/»r  yigh^B  and   other  things.

gives  It  to  be  understood  that  there  Is 
to  be  no  shirking  of  responsjbiliii , 
those  In  authority  under  him  begin  to 
learn  the  meaning  of  the  word  -duty, 
and  tills  la  the  first  step  towards  citi- 
zenship. 

Personally.  Kitchener  is  beloved  by 
tho  people.  He  is  a  man  of  a  type 
that  appeals  to  the  Eastern  imagina- 
tion.    He    Is   building    upon    the    foundu- 

tion    lain    oy   uuiu   v^ioi.«v*    «   ^— j-~

A   WEEbEIJ   DEVICE 


Victoria  is  going  to  have  very  many 
exceedingly  attractive  streets.  Unfor- 
tunately some  of  them  will  bo  defaced 
to  some  extent  by  the  great  forests  of 
poles  and  eountle.is  v.ircs  used  In  con- 
nection with  telephone,  electric  lighl, 
lire  alarm  and  other  servjces.  Tiii.s  con- 
dition is  by  no  means  confined  to  Vic- 
toria. The  system  of  placing  the  Wires 
underground  at  present  in  use  is  expen- 
sive, rather  more  so  than  can  be  .lustl- 
ficd  In  the  smaller  towns  or  in  residen- 
tial districts,  where  the  revenue  is 
necessarily  limited  in  proportion  to  the 
area   served. 

What  is  needed  Is  a  device  fojr_  carry- 
ing  wires  alont;  the  -'^nrface,  'HjjjHP 
ought  not  to  be  beyond  the  Ingenurty  Of 
some  one  to  invent  'it.  There  Is  no 
possible  me^ns  of  making  poles  other- 
wise than  unslK-htly,  and  what  la  more. 
they  are  very  much  la  the  \4«y.  What 
we  have  *ln  mind  Is  a  conduit  to  be  car- 
ried along  the  side  of  the  street,  or  it 
might  be  in.scrted  in  the  permanent 
sidewalks.  We  do  not  pretend  to  have 
thought  the  matter  out  and  only  ad- 
vance the  idee  so  that  some  person  with 
mechanical  ingenuity  may  consider  it. 
We  are  going  to  have  a  lot  of  new  Hlde- 
wftlkM  laid.  Can  no  one  think  out  a  plan 
whereby  a  conduit  for  wires  may  bf 
placed  In  them?  There  would  be  no 
serious  difficulty  in  carrying  wires  from 
such  a  conduit  into  the  houses.  To 
meet  «n  objection  that  is  certain  to  he 
raised,  we  may  add  that  there  would 
have  to  be  a  conduit  on  both  sides  of 
the  street.  If  such  a  plan  were  found 
to  work  satisfactorily  in  the  case  of 
new  sidewalks.  It  would  not  bo  dif-flcult 
to  apply  it  to  those  already  laid. 
ZSKAT 


A  careful  perusal  of  the  evidence  and 
of  his  published  statements  does  not 
warrant  any  criticism  of  the  actions  of 
Mr.  .T.  Bruce  Ismay  at  the  time  of  the 
Titanic  disaster  or  at  any  time  during 
her  unfortunate  voyage.  Ho  appears  not 
to  have  interfered  in  the  slightest  degree 
with  the  navigation  of  the  ship,  although 
It  ought  not  to  be  necessary  to  say  this, 
becuuBe  such  an  Interference  would  have 
been  an  unprecedented  performince. 
There  seems  to  be  a  general  mlsunder- 
atanding  of  the  position  of  an  owner  or 
the  representative*  of  the  owners  on 
board  a  ship.  He  has  no  right  to  be 
consulted  or  to  instruct  the  captain  tn 
anything  whatever.  Hie  has  no  righta 
which  any  passenger,  traveling  In  the 
same  class  aa  he,  does  not  «nJoy.  He  is 
completely  under  the  Juriadtctton  of  the 
captain,  who  could  place  htm  tindttr  ar> 
rest  If  he  presumed  to  interfere  with  the 
handling  of  the  ship. 


tlon^to  this  It  posaeaflfia  extenalva  far- 
eats  suitable  for  pulp  wood  and  vary 
valuable  deposits  of  mineral-  The  eoaat 
of  the  country  is  tht  worst  part  of 
It  climatically,  and  this  la  because  It 
is  swept  by  the  Arctic  current.  Inland 
the  climate  Is  not  unfavorable  to  h«iinan 
habitation.  Dr.  Qrenfell  told  a  Mon- 
treal audience  a  few  days  ago  that  the 

CVUul^'y      --Vullt       giijvt       v*-Ci,*  -•^•^■<»  -> 

wheat.  At  least  he  said  tliat  was  his 
opinion,  but  he  added  that  we  will  know 
more  certainly  after  the  experimental 
stations  to  be  established  have  been  In 
operation  for  a  little  while.  Labrador 
will  become  a  great  game  country. 
Reindeer  flourish  there  and  their  flesh 
will  prove  a  valuable  artlclt  of  export. 
Fur-bcarlng  animals  are  already  numer- 
ous and  others  are  being  Introduced. 
Dr.  Orenfell  anticipates  that  the  raising 
of  fur-bearing  anlmalti  will  become  a 
very    Important    Industry. 

The  geological  aspect  of  the  countrj' 
warrants  tl.e  bellPf  that  11  may  bo  found 
to  be  very  highly  mineralized.  The  for- 
mation that  has  made  the  Porcupine 
district  so  famous  may  be  espected  to 
extend  into  Labrador,  and  If  that  Is 
tilt  case,  discoveries  of  minerals  may 
be  looked  for  with  confidence.  The  riv- 
ers of  this  peninsula  are  large  and  cap- 
able of  furnishing  a  great  deal  of  pow- 
er s.  fact  of  ifnmen.'jft  importance  In 
connection  with  develoiuntnt  on  a  large 
SaSIe.  There  is  nothing  m  this  news 
about  tills  little  considered  part  of  the 
country,  for  every  one  will  remember 
how  we  used  to  regard  other  unexplored 
parts  of  Canada.  U  is  quite  within

The  Montreal  Methodist  Union  of 
Temperance  and  Reform  has  bean  organ- 
ixed  with  the  avowed  object  of  going 
into  politics.  One  of  those  who  are 
prominent  In  the  new  movement  eaya 
he  can  see  no  reason  why  the  churches 
should  not  be  as  prominent  in  politlca 
as  tile  licensed  victuallers,  and  when 
it  comes  down  to  facts,  what  reason  is 
there? 


Mr.  Ismay  during  the  accident  seems 
to  have  acted  as  any  other  decent  man 
would.  He  assisted  others  as  far  as  he 
was  able,  and  when  he  could  do  no  more, 
and  there  was  room  for  him  In  one  of 
the  t>oats  and  no  one  else  was  ready  to 
go  aboard,  he  took  the  place.  Whether 
the  president  of  an  owning  company  Is 
under  any  obligation  to  give  up  his  place 
at  such  a  tlniie  to  a  male  passenger  is  a 
qufsilon  that  need  not  be  discussed,  for 
Mr.  (pmay  did  n<n  prevent  anyone  else 
from   being  saved. 


In  a  letter  to  the  Colonist  last  week. 
Mr.  B.  J.  Perry  suggested  the  licensing

Imposition  of  heavy  fines  In  case  of  ac- 
cMeiit  to  be  followed  after  a  second  of- 
fense by  tlie  revocation  of  the  Itcens-'. 
The  suggestion  has  been  quite  favor- 
ably received,  for  there  is  a  growing 
fear  that,  with  the  multiplication  of 
motors  and  tho  Increasing  recklessness

Local  laiior  iroolpie.s  seem  to  have 
passed  away  without  any  very  nerlrvus 
inconvenience  to  any  one,  except  the  few 
persons,  who  felt  they  could  afford  to 
take  a  holiday  by  going  on  strike.  The 
reason  of  this  is  that  worklnginen  Iwive 
really  no  .serious  cause  of  complaint. 
Doubtles.s  conditions  are  not  ideal,  and 
doubtless  also  employers  ought  to  do 
everything  in  their  power  to  meet  the 
reasonable  wlnlios  of  the  men;  but  there 
can  have  been  no  verj-  great  <llssatis-

themselves  most  workingmen  are  dis- 
posed to  -^e  reasonable.  They  can  be 
made  to  see  that  their  Interests  and 
those  of  their  employers  are  Identical, 
if  the  latter  will  only  take  care  that 
they    are    fairly    dealt    with.

There  seems  to  be  a  probability  that 
a  lot  of  sensational  stories  concerning

On  January  31  an  Hem  appeared  in 
tMe  Colonist  In  which  the  statement  was 
made  that  a  woman  who  had  been  in  re- 
ceipt of  hospital  treatment  for  the  pay- 
iiu-nl  of  which  a  certain  local  company 
was  responsible,  would  become  a  charge 
i-.pon  the  city,  so  far  as  her  hospital  ex- 
ponhes  were  concerned,  because  the  com- 
Iiany  refused  to  pay.  Wc  have  been  ask- 
ed by  the  management  of  the  company 
to  say  that  the  publication  of  this  Item 
vvttB  noi  waii-anleii  by  the  facts.  It  is  true 
tiiat  the  woman  held  a  cortlflca.te  from 
the  company  entitling  her  to  payment  of 
hospital  charges,  but  the  company  was 
never  notified  that  she  was  In  the  hos- 
pital,  nor  had  slie  complied  with  the  con- 
ditions entitling  her  to  benefits  under  her 
certificate.  It  Is  obvious  that  under  the 
circumstances  the  company  was  In  no

lished anything  calculated  to  create  an

LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 

••■a  Xrttieb" 

Sir. — "Be  British"  should  become  as 
famous  as  Nelson's  signal,  "England 
Expects  that-  Every  Man  Will  Do  His 
Duty."  It  should  be  placed  on  every 
vessel  in  a  conspicuous  place,  carrying 
passengers.  We  have  had  such  In- 
t^tances  here,  for  want  of  discipline,  for 
Instance  the  Valentla.  The  life  boats 
should  be  tested  as  to  the  quantity  of 
paissengers  they  would  carry.  Inspectors 
should  sec  all  crutches  and  oars  have 
lanyards  affixed  to  them.  In  the  case 
of  the  Iroquoili  ,the  crutclies  apparently 
were  at  the  bottom  of  the  moat,  and 
only  one  oar  available.

Sir. — I  notice  an  item  in  Saturday's

drew's cathedral  on  Monday  at  »  a.  m. 
for  those  of  the  tlonian  Catholic  faith 
who  lost  their  lives  in  the  Y'^reck." 

I  fear  these  last  words  are  likely  to 
give  a  wrong  impression.  In  mntter 
of  fact,  the  aoiemh  requiem  la  quea» 
tion  was  announced  Sunday  in  tne

rules  of  the  church  forbid  our  offering

In  the  aacrament  of  holy  coimnuBioB. 
But  these  rulea  are  very  far  indeed

"There  must  ha\c  been  hundreds  of 
bodies   about   the  Titanic?" 

"But    1    saw    no    more." 

"Did  you  hear  of  any  persons  refus- 
ing to  enter  the  life  boats?" 

"I  heard  persons  say  some  people  re-

"Did  you  see  any  one  refuse  to  enter

"Did  you  see  any  who  got  in  from

"Xo  sir.  If  1  had  seen  any  In  tho 
water  I  should  have  taken  thent  Into 
the    boat." 

Boxhall  said  the  sea  was  calm  and 
in  his  opinion  eacli  of  the  life  boats 
could  have  taken  Its  full  capacity.  How 
many  had  got  into  his  small  boat  he 
never   knew. 

Senator  Xewlands  returned  to  the 
suViject   of   the    Icebergs. 

"You  ."<ay  you  could  not  see  these 
groat  Icebergs  when  In  the  .sea  boats, 
but  you  could  he«r  the  wuter  lapping

"Ves  sir.  It  was  an  oily  calm  sea  and 
we  could  see  nothing  in  the  small 
boats." 

"If  the  sea  Is  smooth  then  it  is  dif- 
flcult  to  discern   these  bergs?" 

"Yes  sir.  1  believe  If  there  had  been 
a  little  ripple  on  the  water  the  Titanic 
would  have  seen  It  in  time  to  avoid 
it." 

With.  Boxhall  on  the  .stand  the  hear-

OP  SHIPWRECK 

NEW  YORK,  April  22.— Winnowed 
from  among  many  pathetic  atorles  of 
the  Titanic  catastrophe  was  a  talo  to- 
day of  two  clergymen  who  went  down 
otf' the  Titanic  while  ministering  to 
the  stricken  passengers.  One  of  the 
clergymen  was  the  Rev.  Thomas  Byles, 
of  Westminster  Parish,  London,  who 
was  on  his  way  to  officiate  at  tho  mar- 
flage  of  his  brother  In  Brooklyn,  and 
the  other  a  Oen  A.n  priest,  whose 
name  Is  unknown. 

Father  Byles  was  in  the  first  cabin 
and  the  Oerraan  priest  in  the  steerage, 
both  ministers  bad  celebrated  mass  In 
the  steerage  in  the  morning,  ^he  story 
(jif  their  deaths  were  related  today  by 
three  women  survivors  of  the  Titanic, 
fi?lla  Mocklare,  Bertha  Moran  and  a 
Miss  M0C0.V.  When  the  liner  struct 
the  Iceberb  they  said  Father  Byles 
came  down  the  steerage  passageway 
with  hand  uplifted,  commanding  the 
people  to  bo  calm  and  giving  them  r>^ 
solution  and  his  blessing. 

"He  led  us  to  where  the  boats  vvore 
being  lr>wered,"  said  Miss  Mocklare, 
"he  meanwhile  saying  his  prayers  and 
helplnir  v^-onien  and  children  into  the 
hOHte.  Mr-  whispered  words  of  comf'.rt 
and  encouragement  to  all.  The  pia- 
sengers  were  deepl.v  impressed  by  his 
self  control.  Twice  he  refused  to  en- 
ter the  boat  and   save  himself."

INFANT    SURVIVORS 

-■ ^AY    Bt    lUtlV  I  IMED 


NICE,  France,  April  22. — It  is  possible 
thSit  the  mystery  of  the  identity  of  the 
two  children  answering  the  names  of 
I^ouis  and  Lolo,  who  were  saved  from 
the    Titanic,    may    be    cleared    up    soon. 

Mme.  Vavi-atlhs,  the  wife  of  a  sailor 
living  near  here,  says  she  recognized 
the  little  children  a.s  her  two  little  ones. 
She  was  separated  from  her  liusband 
two  months  ago,  who  took  the  children 
and  dlKappearcd,  after  telling  his 
friends  he  was  going  to  America.  The 
children  were  travelling  with  a  man 
named  Hoffman,  who  is  said  to  have 
been  a  friend  of  Vavratlls.  The  two 
French  waifn  were  found  wrapped  in  a 
blanket  in  one  of  the  Tltanic's  life- 
boats. 

According  to  stories  told  by  surviv- 
ors a  mun  'passed  tli**  children  Into  the

The  nation's  financial  year  closis 
with  a  substantial  surplus,  bxit  once 
again  tha  unfortunate  taxpayer  haa  nu 
pruapect    of   relief,    owing    to    Increased 

OUtlAyB     for      "BwCiMi       i«fut'ai»."  Otiv* 

again,  too,  the  surplus  Is  nuilnly  due 
to  gross  mUcalculation  on  the  part  of 
Mr.  Lloyd  Qeorge,  though  on  the  prai;- 
ent  occasion  It  is  ^eo  due  to  the  fact 
that  the  year  Includes  an  exceptionally 
targe  amount  of  arrears  of  income  tax 
from  the  preceding  twelvemonth.  That 
the  chancellor  of  the  exhequer,  in 
framing  estimates,  should  err  on  the 
side  of  OHUtlon  goes  without  saying, 
and  If,  as  a  result,  there  were  to  be 
an  occasional  moderate  surplus  for 
debt  redemption,  there  would  be  noth- 
ing liut  <.'ongratulatlon«  to  offer. 
When,  however,  over  some  five  or  six 
years  we  find  that  such  surpluses  have 
aggregated  conslJerabiy  over  twenty 
millions,  and  that  on  practically  all 
occasions  the  prospective  surpluses 
arlshiK  therefrom  have  been  "ear- 
marked" for  further  social  reforms,  the 
m«tter  wears  a  very  different  aapecl 
and  undoubtedly  Mr.  Lloyd  George  has 
laid  himself  open  to  grave  suspicion  of 
HO  under-estimating  the  revenue*  that 
there  shall  always  be  a  great  margin 
in  hand  available  for  further  conces- 
sions to  the  proletariat. — London  Stand-

Woman    Suffrage 

Arguments  must  be  met,  sentiments 
overcome;  prejudice  exercised  In  the 
mass  of  the  nation'  before  woman  suf- 
frage, in  a  form  acceptiible  to  its 
sirongoft  champions,  can  tind  a  place 
on  the  statute  book.  To  leave  that  task 
undone  and  trust  only  to  parliamentary 
opportunities  is  the  way  of  gravest 
peril.  Such  labors  as  Brougham  and 
his  collaborators  did  for  reform  nearl\- 
ii  century  ago,  creating  and  organiz- 
ing through  years  of  jjcrsistent  effort 
a  vast  and  vislbh;  majority  throughout 
Great  Britain,  ouglit  not  to  be  lacking 
when  a  matter  of  at  least  equal  con- 
stitutional importance  is  In  question. —

N'atlonal  assemblies  and  representa- 
tlvfc  government,  trial  by  Jury  and  even 
a  suffragist  agitation  up-to-date  In  Its 
lumultuousness,  will  not  alone  suWce  ot 
change  the  traditional  beliefs  and  feel- 
ings of  an  ancient  Eastern  people.  The 
process,  to  all  human  seeming,  must  be 
singularly  difficult  and  slow — how  diffi- 
cult and  how  slow  may  perhaps  be 
gathered  from  the  picturesque  descrip- 
tion we  publish  today  of  the  public  act 
by  which  Dr.  Sun  at  Sen  celebrated  the 
Inauguration  of  the  republic'  The  day 
after  he  had  recognized  Yuan  Shlh  Kal 
as  his  successor,  this  cultivated  pupil 
of  the  mission  schools  this  ardent  cham- 
pion of  the  most  "advanced"  of  West- 
ern political  ideas,  ..did  sacrifice  with  all^ 
pomp  and  circumstance  to  the  Manes  of 
the  first  Ming  emperor,  and  deferentially 
explained  the  recent  constitutional 
changes  to  the  spirit  of  his  departed 
majesty. — London  Times. 


Sard  on  Xooscvelt 

Colonel  Roosevelt  in  the  course  of  his 
varied  activities,  achieved  a  reputation 
as  being  the  Nemesis  of  nature  fakers 
Now  he  seems  to  have  an  ambition  to 
pose  himself  as  what  Is  generally 
known  among  the  "real  thing"  as  a  tin- 
horn sport.  Having  temporarily  divest- 
ed himself  of  the  character  of  a  high- 
brow statesman,  he  Is  proceeding  to  pose 
before  the  hoi  polloi  as  a  low-brow  of 
the  most  pronounced  type.  He  com- 
menced tile  present  campaign  by  shy- 
ing his  beaver  Into  the  ring;  overlook- 
ing any  technical  descrlpiton  of  the  Jolt 
he  receved  In  New  York  state,  the  col- 
onel now  announces  that  he  "knocked 
them  over  the  ropes"  In  Illinois;  and  he 
In  preparing  to  make  them  "take  the 
cot.nt"  in  Pennsylvania.  What  cfteci 
antics  will  have  on  his  highbrow  admir- 
ers remains  to  be  seen;  but  the  average 
lowbrow  can  diagnose  the  tinhorn  as  fai- 
as  he  can  see  or  hear  him. — Ottawa

..  The  first  preparatory  work  observed 
on  tlie  port  of  Uie.  contra^ctar  was  Feb- 
ruary 1,  two  weeks  after  the  contract 
was  .signed,  when  the  erection  of  a

Aboltt  February  23 — fiye  weeks  after 
the  contract  was  signed — preparations 
were  made  for  the  installation  of  a

tiie  contractor  began  clearing  ti.e  right- 
of-way  of  the  concrete  pipe  iini.,  with- 
out advi.sing  us  in  any  manner  as  lo

Tlie  work  performed  at-  the  present

believe  that  tlie  unreasonable  delay  on

xrnreaaonabla  Delay 

LTniiecessary  and  unreasonable  delay 
on  the  part  of  the  contractor  is  also  in 
evidence  in  the  matter  of  clearing, 
which  in  many  parts  of  the  work  must 
of  necessity   precede  any  other  work. 

The  contract  ttn<l  Kpeclflcatlons  re- 
quire that  50  per  cent,  of  tlie  flowago 
and  25  per  cent,  of  tiie  submerged 
clearinxr  arouni  Sooke  Lake.  ."lO  per 
cent,  of  the  concrete  pipe  line  right-of- 
way  clearing  and  50  per  cent,  of  Mump- 
bnck  reservoir  clearing  shall  be  com- 
pleted  by   June   30,  1912. 

As  the  government  regulation  pro- 
vides that  no  burning  can  be  dune  af- 
ter May  1.  It  would  appear  that  tlil»i 
requirement  of  tlie  contract  and  speci- 
fications <»nnol  be  complleij  with.  and. 
as  a  result,  the  completing  of  tlic 
wliole  woric  will  he  '■unnecessarily  and 
unreasonably    delayed." 

\w  the  preparation  of  the  specifica- 
tions, and  in  the  prosecution  of  the 
preliminary  work  necessitated  thereby, 
1  was  impressed  with  the  fact  that 
time  was  the  Important  consideration 
in  tlie  conclusion-  of  this  work,  and  to 
tiiat  end  my  efforts  were  concentrated 
in  order  that  the  preliminary  work,  the 
estimates  and  the  .specifications,  might 
be  ready  for  submission  to  the  people 
at  tile  recent  election  In-  January.  No 
effort  or  pains  were  spared  on  my  part 
to  accomplish  this  work,  which  was  of 
necessity  preliminary  to  the  contract, 
and  1  submit  that  this,  being  within 
my  control,  was  carried  out  in  accord- 
ance witli  tlte  desires  of  yourself  and 
the  municipal  council  tlien  in  power. 
■arat7  Bond 
In  tbr  Hpecificatlons  there  was  in- 
corporated every  provision  common  to 
usual  practise  in  .such  matters  for 
safeguarding  the  city's  Interest,  among 
which  it  was  provided  that  a  substan- 
tial surety  bond  should  be  given  iiy 
t'.ie  contractor  to  ensure  tlic  faithful 
Iierformance  and  completion  of  his  im- 
ciertaking  in  accOluanou  With  tofi  pro- 
visions of  the  conlracl  and  Hpeciriea- 
tions  as  adopted  by  tlie  council  Novem- 
ber   21,    IBII. 

"■phe  supplemental  contract  entered 
into  with  the  contractor  by  authority 
of  the  council,  which  in  subetance 
waived  the  surety  bond  and  provided 
for  a  casli  deposit  to  be  accumulated 
from  monies  due,  reauitlng  from  work 
done.  In  lieu  of  such  bond,  removed  the 
important  feature  of  protection  wlilch 
had   been   carefully   provided. 

The  contract  and  specifications  under 
clause  13,  page  IX,  provides  for  delays 
and  extensions  of  time  under  certain 
conditions,   and   as   foilo^ws: 

"The  engineer  must  i^ecelve  from  the 
contractor  kt  the  ttm«  of  such  delay  « 
wrlttei'  notice  of  claim  for  such  delay 
before  any  eif1en?lon  of  time  will  be 
allowed." 

Xo  such  notice  or  claim  from  the 
contractor  has  been  received.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  there  has  been  no  delay 
caused  by  the  city  or  your  engineers 
for  which  such  notice  or  claim  could 
iiave    been    msde 

The  contractor  ha«  failed  at  this  dale 
to  comply  with  the  time  reqiilre-f 
mepts  (•(>«el(ied,  and  immediate  steps 
shoold  he  taken  to  correct  the  diffi- 
culty by  enforcing  the  provlslona  in-

the  cbntract  and  apaclfloattons  applying 
thereto.

IVatuxal  XUtcry  Soolety — .V  letter 
!ias  lieen  received  by  the  Natural  His- 
tory society  from  the  historian  of  the 
Mount  Baker  club  In  BollinBham. 
Wash.,  asking  If  there  exists  any  por- 
trait of  Mr.  E.  T.  Coleman,  of  Victoria, 
who  made  the  first  ascent  of  Mount 
Baker  In  1S69.  This  BelllnKham  club 
devotes  itself  to  the  history  of  Mount 
Baker  and  Mr.  C.  F.  Easton,  the  writer 
of  the  letter,  1«  preparing  an  MSS  book 
with  lUu.stratlons  for  its  shelves,  to  be 
entitled  "Mount  Baker.  Its  Trails  and 
Legends,"  in  which  he  is  anxious  to  in- 
clude a  portrait  of  Mr.  Coleman.  The 
club  already  owns  a  pen-and-ink 
sketch  of  the  mountain,  the  work  of 
Mr.  Coleman,  taken  at  the  time  of  the 
ascent,  and  which  was  afterwards  en- 
graved. Among  the  sT)ecimens  brought 
to  the  society's  meeting  last  night  were 
.some  orchids  which  came  from  a  die- 
irlct  In  India  where,  as  Mr.  E.  A.  Wal- 
lace informed  his  audience,  the  .  rain- 
fall is  400  Inches.  He  also  mentioned 
that  a  rainfall  of  800  inches  had  been 
recorded  In  India,  200  Inches  in  the 
month  of  .Xuly,  In  one  year.  Among 
the  new  members  elected  was  the 
bishop  of   British   Columbia. 

"Betoeoc*"  Pleases — people  of  all 
ages  filled  the  Victoria  theatre  last 
night  to  hear  and  see  "Rebecca  of  Sun- 
nybrook  Farm,"  and  all  went  away 
pleased.  The  story  of  life  In  a  coun- 
try district  in  New  England  touched 
the  older  people,  and  the  trials  of  the 
little  Rebecca  and  her  playmates,  their 
fun  and  their  imagination,  captivated 
the  children.  It  was  a  simple  plot,  and 
a  critic  might  find  fault  with  some  of 
the  acting.  There  was.  however.  en- 
ough  of  romance  and   of   tru?   sentiment

the  sympathy  of  older  playgoers.  Miss 
Maud  Ream  Stover  as  .Vunt  Miranda, 
the  stern  but  really  kind-hearted  maid- 
en lady,  was  very  good,  and  Mr.  Reed, 
as  the  village  stage-driver,  kind-heart- 
ed-, sympathetic  and,  withal,  comical, 
kept  the  audience  In  good  humor  In 
every  scene.  Miss  Ursula  St.  Creorge. 
made  an  admirable  and  very  beautiful 
Rebecca,  winnln-g  the  hearts  of  her 
audience  as  she  did  those  of  everyone 
In  the  village.  As  Adam  Ladd,  Mr. 
Alfred  Hudson  played  the  part  of  lover 
very  acceptably.  Mr.  Sidney  S.  Blair 
was  a  fair  type  of  the  good-for-nothing 
country  laborer,  and  one  was  a  lltle 
surprised  to  find  that  even  Rebecca 
could  discover  that  he  had  a  heart  to 
be  touched.  Altogether  the  play  was 
«uch  a  one  as  Victoria  audiences  would 
be   pleased    to    see    oftener.

KuvMvt  AmgUm  to  "«HrMm  Stooktnfs" 
— The  visitor  to  the  Victoria  theatre  on 
Saturday  next  will  be  the  distinguished 
actress.  Margaret  Angllu.  who  comes 
from  a  long  and  succtssful  engagement 
at  the  Maxlne  Elliott  and  Lyceum 
theatres.  In.  New  York.  Miss  Anglln 
will  present  herself  In  a  new  and  orig- 
inal comedy,  entitled  "Green  Stock- 
ings," by  A.  E.  W.  Mason,  one  of  the 
leaaing  English  piaywngnis  ana  novel- 
ists. Xr  "Green  Stockings,"  Miss  Ang- 
lln has  a  role  entirely  different  from 
anything  she  has  hitherto  been  identi- 
fied with,  as  It  Is  essentially  a  comedy. 
Hitherto  it  has  been  customary  to  as- 
sociate thfe  name  of  Anglln  with  tearful 
and  emotional  women,  so  that  her  forth- 
coming appearance  will  certainly  be  In 
the   nature   of   a   great    novelty. 

"A  ZiaoChlBr  nay" — Such  Is  "The 
Faun"  said  to  be,  and  Victorians  will 
see  how  well  deservfcd  is  the  appella- 
tion, when  William  Fa^ersham  brings 
the  unconventional  Edward  Knoblauch 
comedy  to  the  Victoria  theatre  on  Mon- 
day next.  Certainly  the  opportunities  are 
manifold  in  the  original  thtme  upon 
which  the  young  autlior  Iins  based  his

'•Too     Tired" 

■^■im    know    how    it    is 
iin.v;   cumes   home   tired-" 
was  a  young  girl,  bonnie/    and  as     she 
went    to    Y.v     work    in     the    mnrninK. 
iiriglu.         Hut      the    remark     told       of 
nerves   tiiat  had   already   been   tired   to 
the    point    of    ))renking.      ^Vhy    .should 
otir    Rirls    come    home    at    night    weary 
and   irritaliie?     Is   there   so   much   work 
in   our  city   tliat  we  cannot  all  do  our 
.share    and    enjoy    It?      In    the    schools 
there    are    girls    who    are    o\'ervvorked. 
They    are    the    dull    but    cons-clcntlous 
children,  determined  to  learn  the  tasks 
which    the    average    girl    can    overt^ike 
easily    enough,   or   they    are   overambi- 
tious    girls    resolved      to    win    all      the 
iionnrs   and    prizes.      There   is    another 
and    pf'rhaps    a    larger    class    of    over- 
worked   school    girls.      They   are    those 
who    spend     their    evenings    in    social 
or    other      amlisements      and    so    leave 
themselves   little   time   for  study.     Not 
all    of    these   are    Idle   or   careless,    hut 
through    the    foolishness      of      parents 
they    are    allowed    to    burn    the    candle 
at  "both      ends.      The      strength    the.v 
need      for      growth    and    development, 
pliysical  and   nifiiiai,   is  wastsa  tn  ;.;:; 
healthy  excitement.      All   of  these  girli-^ 
enter    upon    the    duties    of    young    wo- 
manhood    sadly    handicapped. 

Tliero    are,    however,    many    wlio    have 
left    behind    them    a    Uappy^     cliildhood, 
who    find   long   hours  and    close  confine- 
ment  hard    to  bear.     Such   a   girl   eome« 
home    from    store    or    office    or    factory 
very    tired.      II   happcnH,    too   often,    tliat 
the  mollicr.    too.   lias  spent  a  harassinc

to    he    easily    overtaken.      There    may    be 
an     e.Kacling    invalid     in    ib'i    home        in- 
some     member     of     the     family     may     be 
giving    eause     for    anxiety.     Well     is     it, 
In    such    a    ea.se,    tliat    tlie    father    be    a 
man  of  kind,   atrons   naiure,   whose   love 
nnd    sJmlty    will    take    the    minds    of   bis 
womcnl'nlk    frytn    Hie    lUtlc    llilnRS    that 
I  rouble    Ihciu.      Sad     indeed     is     the    ^asc 
ulun    .-.U    lu-e    tired   and   when    the   over- 
wrouBh'     ner-i«>s    lead     to    needless     re- 
liK-aclies   and    fooIlRli    rceriminM lions.    In 
this     way     liie    happiness     of     mony      a 
family    has   been   ruined. 

If  women  nnd  Kirl.s  could  only  Icmn 
tliat  the  duty  of  conserving  nervous  en- 
ergy, of  keeping  tlipruselvp.s  bright  and 
happy,  Is  om-  of  the  most  important 
they  owe  to  themselves  and  to  their 
this  world  would  be  not  only 
but    a    vastly    lietter    one.

The  liired  men  arrived  an  the  steamer 
Princess  Victoria  and  were  met  by  the 
Booster's  club  and  others,  with  two 
tally-hoc.^,,  and  .-ill  the:  motor  cars  that 
could  be  spared,  and  headed  by  the 
Fifth  Kegrlment  band,  the  procession 
ptartpd  through  the  city  .streets.  Mayor

Jiresident  of  tlic  league,  1...  A.  "Watlelel. 
j)nd  D.  TR.  Dugdale — who  weigh te<l  down 
the  car  badly ''at  his  corner — sat  In  the 
first  motor,  and  while  thi.»  band  playe<l 
'•Every  I^lttle  Ball  Game  Has  Errors 
All  Its  Own,''  the  cortege  proceeded  to 
the  ball  yard,  where  the  grandstand  had 
tieen  packed  until  the  mucilage  couldn't 
be  squeezed  from  a  postage  stamp  in  it, 
and  the  overflov.-  from  the  bleachers 
Scattered  about  the  sides  of  tiie 
diamond. 

■  Promptly  at  i  p.  m.,  under  a  beaming 
gnr>^  Umpire  More.n  sflid:  "TUp  Rnt-t.er- 
ive-s  for  T-e-e-erday  are,  for  .Seattle,

Ed  Glcason  left  the  peanut  garage  to 
his  junior  clerks  then,  and  the  pro- 
ceedings bfgan,  Mr.  McCreery,  who  was 
■doing  the  hurling  for  the  Bees,  making

;  Therft  ^-^s  ftot  enough  ^exoiternent  to 
cjause  ili.  %"hC|inas  Burn.s'  to  throw  up 
"lUs  sflk\at  "until  the  third,  when  the 
^Ig  event  took  place.  Before  that  a 
^ount^'  man  named  Moran,  who  holds 
down  the  loft  garden,  had  spoiled  a 
long-drlve  by  Clementson  i)y  riiaking  a 
grand  running  catch  with  two  down, 
and  the  throng  of  humanity  were  given 
■•♦  quiet  thrill  for  a  moment  when  Meek 
Sot  as  far  a.s  third  on  two  passed  balls 
— but  the  score 'board  wasn't  improved. 
It  was  In  the  third  that  everything 
jiappened  worthy  of  note.  Seattle  had 
■Jwo  departed  when  Mann  hit  huskily  to 
cieep  left  field  and  when  Rawlings,  in 
relieving  the  tlirow,  hurled  the  ball  to 
t.iie  bleachers  past  Nordyke,  he  went  on 
ijrom    second    to    the    plate. 

For  a  few  minutes  gloom  settled 
vipon  the  throng — but  it  was  quickly 
banished.  Thus  gloom  went.  Rawlings 
and  McCreery  were  both  given  passes 
and  Sodofsky  bunted,  whereupon  Weed, 
who  held  the  first  bag,  flung  wild.  Ro- 
rtult  Rawlings  gliding  over  the  home 
rjlatc.  Keller  fanned,  and  Clementson 
took  a  grip  on  a  heavy  piece  of  hickory 
with    fire   in   his   eye. 

"Lam  it,  Clem,"  shouted  a  -shrilll 
voice,   above   the   din. 

Clem  obeyed.  He  drove  a  hot  one 
past  first,  and  scored  both  McCreery 
and    Sodofsky.      TJien    Meek    hit    safe. 

Klein  put  up  a  distress  signal  then, 
and  Barrenkamp  was  sent  to  the  pitch- 
er's box.  Nordyke  popped  a  foul  fl.v 
aind  Kennedy  struck  lustily  at  the  va- 
ciant  air.  But  the  boy  at  the  scoreboard 
put  up  a  big  numeral  8  after  tho  air 
cleared,  amid  applause. 

After  that,  although  McCreery  was 
helped  out  of  some  dangerou.s  places 
once  or  twice,  and  there  were  some 
bright  bits  oir  fielding,  notably  a  fast 
■jiick-up  and  throw  to  Nordyke  by  Raw- 
lings, the  only  other  happening  which 
cSiused  tumtilt  was  when  Daniels  coaxed 
H  throw  to  second  with  Nordyke  on 
third,    giving    him    a   chance    to    score. 

The  Bees  look  as  though  they  will 
ma^e  a  struggle  before  they  let  any- 
one (jet  away  with  the  honey — and 
tfiere  isn't  a  drone  among  them.

It  would  be  dlfllcult  to  hare  the  out- 
look for  a  successful  spring  horsb  show 
brighter  than  Is  the  case.  When  the 
competitions  open  here  on  May  2_  there 
will  be  assembled  the  finest  animals  to 
be  found  In  the  Pacific  Northwest,  and 
there  are  some  that  would  be  admired 
in  the  best  company.  Indeed,  the  pros- 
pect is  that  every  one  of  the  sessions, 
which  take  place  afternoon  and  evening 
from  the  2nd  to  the  5th  will  be  highly 
entertaining. 

^One  of  the  features  of  all  Victoria's 
.«ihows  of  thia  kind  has  been  the  jump- 
ing contests.  In  fact  It  wap  in  this  city 
that  Credential,  the  celebrated  Van- 
(^ouver  jumper,  established  a  record. 
The  principal  attraction  of  the  fortii- 
coming  event,  will  be  the  hurdle  tests. 
It  Is  pos.slblt  that- another  mark  will  be 
set  on  this  occasion,  for  there  are  many 
notable  animals  out  for  honors.  Amonc 
the  fanciers  great  curolsity  la  evinced 
as  to  the  merit  o  fthe  Irish  thorough-

What  a  Victoria  sportsman  landed  in  a 
few  hours  on  the  headwaters  of  the 
Cowlchan  River. 

almost  even,  althougli,  hi  spite  of  the 
assurances  to  the  contrary,  there  seems 
to  be  some  doubt  even  yet  at  to  Newsy 
I/alonde's    intentions. 

Len  TurnbuU  and  Buck  Marshall,  f)f 
the  Royal  City,  left  yesterday  for  To- 
ronto, where  they  will  play  this  year, 
and  their  vacancies  will  be  (Hied  by 
Aspell  and  Harry  Hyland,  both  of  Mont- 
real. The  probable  line-up  of  the  West- 
minster  team    this   year   follows: 

<^jn\.  Bun  Clarke,  "with  Sandy  Gray 
as  reserve;  point,  Tommy  Olftord,  with 
Charlie  Galbralth  as  reserve;  cover 
point,  Johnny  Howard;  first  defence, 
Jimtny  Olfford;  second  defence,  George 
Rennie;  third  defence,  Tom  Rennle;  cen- 
tre, .Timmy  Aspell,  of  Montreal;  third 
home.  Bill  TurnbuU;  second  honw, 
"Plnic"  Wintemute;  flrat  home.  Cliff 
.Spring;  outside  home,  Harry  Hyland;  In- 
side home,  Gordon  Spring.  Httgh  Oif- 
fbrd  and  McCarty  are  spares  for  the 
home. 

So  far  the  only  effect  of  the  lacrosse 
war  has  been  to  Increase  the  salaries  all 
round.  The  eastern  clubs  Iwve  felt  thla 
even  more  than  the  coast  clubs,  t<tr 
salartea  here  were  much  higher  than  in 
the  east  to  start  with  and  the  Big  Four 
clubs  have  had  to  come  up  to  meet  the 
western  standard.  Vancouver  has  landed 
One  eastern  star  In  "Mag"  McOregor, 
and  If  necessary  wUl  get '  McOregor'a 
running  mate  on  the  Tcfcumaeha,  Mc- 
Itougall,  the  Inside  home  t>Iayer.  The 
latter  is  living  on  a  ranch  In  Saakat- 
chawan  and  ahould  not  b«  hard  to  sign.

of  the  victories  of  Seattle  and  Van-

Cochrane,  the  slim  West  Virginia 
boy,  pitched  a  heady,  conservative 
game,  alway.<5  playing  "safe."  He  had 
a  deceptive  slow  curve  ball  that  was 
puzzling  to  the  Victorians.  Berger

off.  The  game  dragged  insufferably. 
^)ut  it  was  one  of  those  caspg  where  it 
could  not  be  hurried.  If  figures  were 
obtainable,  it  is  highly  probable  that 
Cochrane  and  Berger  broke  all  former 
Recreation  Park  records  for  balls 
pitched  for  a  regulation  nlne-innlng 
game.  ' 

Aside  from  Sliaw's  clever  work  at 
the  bat  and  the  fielding  of  Keller  and 
Wuffli    there    were   no    features. 

Right  Fielder  Friene  was  added  to 
Victoria  hospital  list  when  he  twisted 
a  knee  in  sliding  to  third  base  after 
lining  o^ut  a  three-base  hit  in  the  fifth. 
He  was  replaced  by  Concannon,  and 
may   be  out   several   days.

It  looks  as  though  George  Oouldlng, 
the  well  known  Canadian  walker,  has 
a  lormidaljle  rival  in  the  person  of  A. 
T.  Yeoumans,  holder  of  the  two-mile 
heel-and-toe  record  of  Great  Britain. 
He  la  out  with  a  challenge  directed  at 
the  Canadian  for  a.ny  distance  from 
one  to  nve  miles  for'  jl.OOO  a  side. 

Yeoumans  is  s.  Welshman  of  whom 
great  things  are  told.  If  he  Is  suc- 
cessful in  getting  Gouldlng  to  turn 
professional  he  will  sail  for  this  Coun- 
try and  train  for  the  contest.  It  is  aald 
that  Gouldlng  la  willing  to  conaider 
the  challenge  but  wants  the  race  de- 
cided In  Canada  If  terms  can  be  made 
to  hl.«!  satisfaction.  Oouldlng  has  ea- 
tabllshed  three  world's  records  in  the 
past  year,  wiping  out  the  marks  made 
.by  Frank  Murry  in  1888,  1884  and  19*7. 
Thc*e  marks  are  aa  follows:  One  mile, 
«  minutes  29  1-5  seconds;  two  mtlea, 
,13  minutes  45  1-5  seconds,  and  three 
miles  20  minutes  60  3-5  seconds. 

Another  man  who  promieea  to  give 
Oouldln*  a  struggle  for  the  woirld'a 
honors,  according  to  reports,  !■  W. 
Murray,  of  the  MeVboume"  Harriers, 
who  recently  won  the  mile  event  In 
a  minutes  22  2-5  seconds,  which  la  a 
new  record,  and  the  three  milca  Jn 
20:66,  which  is  an  Australian  mark. 
The  latter  is  more  than  a  mlnut«  be- 
hind aouldlng'a  Indoor  performances, 
but  the  mli*  Is  nearly  three  aeoonds 
better  than  the  Canadian's  best. 

In  both  cases  Murray  won  by  such 
a  great  distance  th«t  it  is  reasonable 
to  suppose  that  he  might  have  done 
even  better.  In  the  mile  he  went  the 
first  half  in  3:08  and  4t  the  finish  the 
second  man  was  300  yards  behind.

and  the  second  in  18:44  2-i.  Murray 
had  not  up  to  this  been  ihcluded  In 
the  team  for  the  Olympic  games,  but 
on  this  nhowint  w»«  Immediately  In-

that  He  In  store  for  us  on  this  side  of 
.Jordan's  nood;  "There  was  no  more

First  of  all,  lo  the  ancient  world,  the 
s«i  stood  for  all  that  was  Indefinite  and 
niystcrlous.  To  a  r>*opl«  that  wer<?  si  HI

eyes  over  the  Aegean  ho  saw  the  blur 
which  blent  the  outline  of  sea  and

In  like  manner  our  own  life,  like  the 
K*ft.  is  Klrt  round  wiUi  mystery.  The 
unknown  i«  ever  terrible.  When  knowl- 
edge is  not,  imagination  peoples  places 
and    times    wah    dread    mpnaters. 

Life  is  a  mystery,  death  1«  a  mys-

iii^stery.  therefore  ii'.  that  life  towards

Sin  plucked  out,  and  death  itself  trod-

Hether  was  It  his  du,t>'  to  find  out  for 
them   God's   lesson    In   this   disaster.   Re- 
ferring   to    the    incidents    referred    to    in 
the    chapter    from    which    his    text    was 
taken,     the    massacre    of    the    Oalileans 
by  Pontius  Pilate  and  the  slaying  of  the 
clgiltteen     men     by     the     falling:     at     the 
tower    in    Hllonm,    he    pointed    but    that 
the    Jewa    thought    that    thew    disasters 
were;   visited    upon    the    xdettms    as    spe- 
cial   punishment    for    their    sins.         But 
.fesus    said    no,     they    were    wronp       in 
llielr   Judgment.    These    men    had      b^en 
victims    of   some    broach    of   the   natural 
low   of  God   which   had   exacted   the   ftill 
penalty.   They  would  do  well   to  remem- 
ber that    there   was   ».    spiritual    an   well 
as  a  natural   law  and    that   the   God  of 
nature  and  of  the  spiritual  law  was  one 
and    the    same,    and    that    transgression 
of    either    law    brought    Its    own    punish- 
ment. Then  in  a  parable  of  great  beauty 
Chlrat  had  gone  on  to  preavh  his  gre.at 
cell   to  the  Jews   to  national   repentance. 
But  they  had   refused  to  hear  Him.   The 
years    had    flown    by   and    then   disaeters 
came,    Jerujwilem     was     levelled    to     the 
ground  and  the  Jew  had' been  a  wanderer 
and  a  fugitive  ever"  since  in  all  lands. 

Today  Jesus  Christ  stood  and  nreach- 
ed  to  them  precisely  tlie  same  lesson. 
That  liner  which  carried  to  Us  death 
HOO  people  last  week  met  Its  fate  In 
disregard  of  the  lawa  for  human  safety 
in  conflict  with  the  natural  law.  He,  as 
many  others  In  that  church  had  done, 
had  often  crossed  that  sanSe  passage  and 
he  knew  as  any  other  sensible  and 
thinklnp  man  did  that  it  was  Impossi- 
ble to  do  eighteen  knots  or  so  an  hour 
with  icebergs  in  the  vicinity.  In  this 
disaster  nature  waa  exonerated  and  man 
and'  man  alone    wlia   to   blame. 

Tlio  Dean  closed  with  an  eloquent 
appeal  to  national  repentance, 

The  oftepiory  taKfen  during  the  serv- 
ice, which  amounted  to  |28",  was  dedi- 
cated to  the  fund  Ot>ened  by  the  British 
and  Foreign  Sailors'  society  for  the 
widows  and  children  of  the  offloers  and 
crew  of  the  Tltank,  who  perished  laat 
ttreek,  and  also,  as  the  Dean  reminded 
his  hearers,  for  th«  relatives  of  the 
Stewardesses,  who  .  being  raembera  of 
the  crew,  and  not  passengers,  had  per- 
Ishad  at  their  post  of  duty.

Preaching  on  Sunday  morning  at  high 
ir.ftss  at  St.  .\ndrew's  cathedral.  Bight 
jlev.  Bishop  MacDonald.  referring  to  thp 
titanic  disaster,  said  that  they  all  had 
ieason  to  be  proud  that  they  belonsed 
td  the  Brlliffh  ctuplrc.  The  courage 
shown  bv  those  .who  had  pcrlahod  wn.-. 
ah  example  to  the  rest  of  the  world. 
He  al«o  reminded  his  hearers  that  the 
catastxophe  should  teach  them  that  man 
must  not  rely  too  much  upon  ^lis  own 
ability  to  overcome  the  dangers  and 
obstacles    of    the    sea. 

A  solemn  requiem  was  sung  at  the 
cathedral  yesterday  morning  for  the 
vlcHlma  of  the  Titanic,  Rev.  Father 
Fiaser,  of  Esquimau,  being  the  cele- 
brant. With  Father  Leterme  as  deacon, 
and  Father  Macdonald  as  sub-deacon. 
The  Bishop  also  took  part.  There  was  a 
fairly   large   congregation.

he   left    also    his    safety    with    himself,

There  is  much  to  be  learnt  from  the 
study  of  charts  and  curves  in  relation 
to  evei-yday  life,  and  one  which  was 
seen  yoslerday  Ht  the  offlces  of  tli^ 
Vancouver  Island  Power  Co.  boars  strik- 
ing testimony  both  to  tho  extraordin- 
ary growth  of  the  demand  for  power 
1 11  Victoria  and  also  to  the  way  in 
which  It  has  been  foreseen  and  grap- 
pled  with. 

In  189S  the  load  was  200.000  kilowatt 
iiours  per  month,  and  for  the  next 
eight  years  It  rernalned  arounil  the 
same  figure  and  the  line  on  the  chart 
was  more  or 'less  horizontal.  In  llt06, 
however,  the  load  rose  to- 400,000  and 
the  lino  or\  the  chart  shows  an  anRlo 
of  between  HO  and  3,'!  degrees.  In  iniO 
tlie  load  had  again  doubled,  and  In  Feb- 
ruary ot  this  year  the  line  was  run- 
ning up  perpendicularly  to   the  2,200,000, 

It  is  estimated  that  the  same  rate  of 
progreim  will  take  it  up  to  the  4.600.000 
mark  by  .the  end  of  thi*  year.  This 
chart  is  a  history  of  the  life  of  the 
city  in  more  ways  than  its  demand  for

MY  STOMACH  IS  FINE 

Since  Taking  Na-Dru-Co  Dyspepsia  Tablets" 

Mrs.  J.  Merkhuger,  Waterloo,  Ont., 
enthusiastically  recommends  Na-Dru-Co 
D3'9pepsta  Tablet.-!.  Her  experience  with 
them,  as  she  outlines  it,  explains  why. 

"I  was  greatly  troubled  with  my 
stomach",  she  writes.  "I  had  taken  so 
much  medicine  that  I  might  say  to  tajce 
any  more  would  only  he  making  it 
worse.  My  stomach  ju.st  felt  raw.  I 
read  of  Na-Dru-Co  Dyspepsia  Tablets, 
and  a  lady  friend  told  me  they  were 
very  easy  to  take,  so  I  thought  T  would 
give  them  a  trial  and  really  they  worked 
wonders.  Anyone  havAUg  anything 
wrong  with  his  .stomach  should  give 
Na-Dru-Co  Dyspepsia  Tablets*  a  trial, 
they  will  do  the  rest.  My  stomach  is 
fine  now  and  I  can  eat  any  food." 

One   of  the  many  good   features  of 

N«Dru-Co  Dyspepsia  T^^letsis  that 

;they  are  so  pleasant  and  «isy  to  take. 

•The  relief  they  give  from  heartburn, 

'  f[«tnlence,  biliousness  and  dysficpBia  is 

'  t^otnpt  and  permanent.     Try-  one  after 

©ich  meal— they'll  make  you  ffcel  like 

a  new  penon.  ^

Ob«nli  o<  Onr  Xtoxd 
There  was  a  full  coniir«Kt»tIon  at  the 
Church  or  Our  L.or<l  on  Sunday  morn- 
ing, and  i>ie  tiervJce  took  nhe  form  of 
u.  speeiui  iii«morUl  service.  approi>r««!t« 
psalina  being  chanted  and  le*«on«  read. 
At  the  cloae  of  the  service  the  organ- 
ist played    the   Dead   March    In    "Saul." 

Rev.  T.  W.  Oladstone  took  for  his 
text  "There  Is  sorrow  on  the  Sea."  Af- 
ter .-^ferrinK  to  the  heroism  of  those 
who  prevented  any  paii'c,  he  spoke  of 
the  general  tone  of  moderation  and 
Wisdom  that  had  characterised  pu^bllc 
utterances  at  this  time,  and  especially 
referred  to  the  CoIonLst  leader  of  Sat- 
urday last  in  tcrins  of  the  highest  ap- 
preciation. The  vanity  of  human  plans, 
the  folly  of  a  trudt  in  wealth  and  the 
terrible  warning  against  reckless  Bpoed 
were  coinincntcd  on,  and  the  solemn 
losson  to  this  materhillBtio  age,  the 
answer  to  the  cry  ot  God's  people  that 
thcMC  may  be  led  to  »>«o  the  emptiness 
of  mere  earthly   things. 

The  sermon  ended  witli  the  expree- 
sion  of  deepest  sympalhy  with  the  1)0- 
reaved.  whose  sorrows  no  mere  money 
contriljutions  WouUl  be  adeauate  to  as- 
suage.

li-.rouyh    the    Iron    grating   and    the    bar- 
red windows  of  tht  Immigration  Deten- 
tion   bulldlns,    where    they      have      been 
lifeld    for   over   seven    weeks.        Tlie    two 
men.  Frank  Ward,  an  able  seaman,  and 
Isaac    Reect.    a    fireman,    were    members 
of    the    crew    of    the    steamer    Magician 
of  the  Ilarrison-Dlrect  line  which  reach- 
ed   port    at    the    beginning    of    Ih    eyear. 
They    broached     the    cargo    and    stolt;    a 
ca.fe   of   whl.'ikey   and   were  arrested   and 
tried     at     Vancouver     before     Magistrate 
Shaw.    They    pleaded    guilty    and      were 
stntenced  to  Wtp  month.M'  imprisonment. 
While    the   captain    of    the    Magician    de- 
ducted   from    their    pay    £2    10s.    to    pay 
for    the    stolen    liquor.      When    released, 
after    the    expiration    of    I  heir    sentenoe. 
thfc  two  men  were  sent  by  the   immigra-

same    agency,    come    and    go.    and    were 
still    detained,    and    they    watched    with 
wistful    anticipation    for    the   coming   of 
■the    next    steamer    of    the    line    in    the 
hope  of  being  put   on   board.   Reese  has

load    full    cargoes    at    .Portland    has    no 
connection,    as    he    understands    It,    with

pany   to    continue    to    operate    freighters 
from   Portland  and   Puget   Sound   to   the 
Orient    after   August    1.    Previously    the

thfc   Oriental    service   on    the   later   date, 
oflriclal    notice    of    the    fact    having    been

"Frank  Waterhouso,  at  the  head  of  the 
company.  Is  In  Lon<lon.  A  few  days 
ago  he  sent  a  cable  to  the  local  agent 
that  he  had  made  arrangements  for 
six  steamers  to  run  out  of  Portland  and 
Puget  Sound  to  the  Orient,  having  en^ 
gaged  a  fleet  from  Anorew  Weir.  I-te 
made  no  mention  as  to  whether  the 
steamers  would  operate  direct  from 
Portland,  or  to  follow  the  old  plan  of 
loading  part  cargoes  here  and  finishing 
on    the   Sound.

in    August,    19U.    the    defendant    listed 
with   the   plaiiUifls    L-ot   11,   being   No.   41 
Oswego    Streei,      at    the    sum    of    $2,700. 
On  thu  isth  of  JJecember,  Messrs.   Man- 
nell    and      Ferguson,      representing    the 
company,    were    speaking    to    Mr.    iJawe 
about  some  of  his  properly  and  he  then 
listed  with   them   No.   41   Oswego   street, 
at  $4,iU0   to   be  paid  one-third  cash,   the 
balance  In  three  years  at  seven  per  cent. 
Un    the    31st   of    January      the    company 
succeeded      In    obtaining      a    purchaser 
read"       to     take       the    nront-rty       on    Mr. 
Uawc-'.s    terms.      On    going    to    Mr.    Dawe 
and    notifying    him       that    the    property 
could    be    sold    as    listed,    he    refiiocd    to 
carry    out    the    sale,    and    thereupon    an 
action    was    commenced    for    commission 
on    $4,100    on    the   ground    that    the    com- 
pany   had    carried   out    the   contract    they 
had    made    with    Mr.    Dawe.      The    trial 
came    on    before    Dampman,    Co.    .1.      The 
defence   was    (1)    that    the   property   had 
not   been    listed;    (2)      that   even    if    the 
property    had    been    listed,    so    great    an 
increase    in    the      value    took     place    be-~ 
tween    tho    26th     of    December    and    the 
:!1st    of      January     that      the    company

had  bevn  litded  with  the  company  on 
the  26th  of  December  ui)on  the  terrns

ish  Columbia  has  \ong  engaged  the  ear- 
neat  altentlon   and  support   of   the   Pro- 
vincial co^ernmont.  and  it  is  undoubtpfl 
that    under    its    stimulating    influence   a 
tremendous      advance     has  been      mede. 
Wl^le    the    jnOuence    of    the,   Prthvlncla} 
government  in   this  connection  has  been

ing   out    lecturers   tu    carry    on  an   edu- 
cetional    campaign      in    the      section    of 
country  -devoted    to    agriculturist    pur- 
suits, and   it   is   ila  avowed   intenticrt   to 
establish    a    number       of       cxperimeiUal 
shL-eo    farms    for    the    purpose    of    dem- 
onstr^ting    the    economic    va,lue    of   this 
r.'Uch  neglectei  form  of  farming  in   the 
Dominion.     < 

This  action  on  the  part  of  the  Dom- 
inion government  is  part  of  a  great 
scheme  of  educatloh  which  is  to  he  ap- 
plied to  the  entire  province,  but  inas- 
much as  one  of  the  special  type.-s  of 
demonstration  farm  to  be  operated  ap- 
pl)<.f;  exclusively  to  tho  Province  of  B. 
C  it  'is  certain  that  this  province  will

The  iat'thority  of  the  Colonist  for 
making  this  statement  is  Mr.  W.  T. 
Bileh,  special  «hoep  XQiniiusai.uiiv,-i,  who 
has  been  employed  by  the  Dominion 
..government  to  make  the  preliminary 
arrangements  for  the  commencement  of 
*vi^  ^^^\r .  -Mv  vtitrh  bfls  been  on  the 
islfind  for  the  past  we«k  or  ten  days 
and  he  left  for  the  Mainland  on  Sun- 
day after  conducting  a  series  of  meet- 
ings throughout  the  agricultural  sec- 
tions of  the  Island.  Hu  stated  that  U 
was  the  government's  Intention  to  es- 
tablish throughout  the  country  four 
kinds  of  demonstration  farms  in  or- 
der to  cover  the  entire  possibilities  of 
the  Dominion. 

The  first  type  will  be  with  a  view   to 
demonstrating      the    value      of      keeping 
sheep    on    rough    lands      unsuitable    for 
other   forms  of  agriculture:    the  second, 
to    demonstrate      the    economic     import- 
ance   of    incliKling   sheep    in    the    mixed 
farm;    the   third,    to   show   the   value  of 
kecring   sheep    on    thf    farm    for    weed- 
cleaning  purposes;   and   fourth,   to   prcva 
t!io    value    of    the    early    lamb    trade    in 
B.   C.     The   last   type  is   specifically  ap- 
plied   to    B.    C-    on  account    of    Its    won- 
derfully equable  climate.      It   la  claimed 
that  in  this    province,    where   no    winter 
housing    will    be    necessary,    and    where 
the    grazing    conditions    are    practically 
similar      to    those      prevailing      in      the 
southtrn    counties    of    England,    it    will 
be   possible.      with      certain      breeds    of 
sheep,   such    for   instance   as   the   Dorset 
horiis,    to    have    lambs    twice   a    season. 
And    this    tremendou.s    advantage,    coup- 
led   with   the    ordinary   output   of  Iambs 
at   the  regular  seaiSon,   .should  place   the 
Province    of    B.    C.     in    a    very    enviable 
position   in   the   sphere  olj   .sheep-ralslng

purpose  of  studying  the  animal  as  an 
egonomJc.  produQl.  either  as  a  separate 
branch  of  agriculture  or  as  an  esaen- 
tial  adjunct  to  farming. 

The  object  of  Mr.  Rltchs  vlelt  to  the 
Coast   at    this   time,  is    to   arouse  an   in- 
terest   in    what    the    r>ominlon    govern- 
ment   Is   doing    in    connection    with    the 
cultivation  .of    the    sheep,    and    to    pre- 
pare   th«m   for    the   campaign    that    will 
start    later    on    In    the    season.      In    or- 
der to  carry  out  this  purpose  Mr.  Rlt«h 
accompanied   by,  Mr.- C.   M.    Macrae,   hiui 
visited    the      various      agricultural    sec- 
tions of   the   Island  and  delivered   short 
addresses    on    the    ideas    of    the   govern- 
ment.    As  a   result  of   his  eftorts   he   is 
Kreatly   pleaaed.    llndlng    that    the  farm- 
ers   evinced    a    tremendnuH    interest    in 
the    Biihlftct.      In  a   fQW    days,    after    ad- 
dressing   a   few    more    meetings    on    the 
Mainland,   he  proposes   to   return    to   Ot- 
tawa in   order   to.  complete   tl>u  arrange- 
ments .for  ,  the  work  to  follow. 

Mr.  Rltch  explained  that  the  work  of 
the  Dominion  government  would  not

ers with  a  vlewi  to  enabling  them  to

some  time  to  mat«;riallze  but  '^'Ith  per- 
sistence and  a  proper  system  of  organ-

try of  sheep-raising  can  be  made  ona 
of    the   most   profitable    In    the   country. 

Canada   Is   Behind 

"It  is  a  matter  of  great  surprise  to 
mc,"  he  said,  "that  a  country  like  Can- 
ada, with  its  tremendous  area  and 
agreeable  climate,  should  be  in  the  po-

ind  tW^.n*  y 
times  as  much  In  this  line.  Take 
Great  Britain  for  instance.  It  produces 
28  million,  where.is  In  the  broad  ex- 
panse of  Canada  there  are  only  2  mil- 
lion. And  in  the  Provihce  of  B.  C. 
which  is  better  adapted  to  the  rai.^ing 
of  sheep  than  any  of  the  other  prov- 
inces, and  which,  In  fact.  c«n  be'com- 
pared  with  the  best  sheep-raising  coun- 
tries in  Ihe  world  In  point  of  climate 
and  atmospheric  conditions,  there  is 
only    a     paltry     23,000. 

"If    Cana<la   at    the    present   time    was 
producing  licr  real  quota  of  sheep,   that 
is    the  amount    whloh   by    fair    compaxl- 
son   with   the  prevallln.g  conditions  here 
and*ln   other   countries  she   should,    the 
production    ought    to    be    something    like 
80   million;   and   of  that   product  a   very 
large     percentage    should    be     raised    in 
the  pravlnce   of   B.   C.      When   you   con- 
sider   that   a    small    country    like    New 
Zealand    produces    28    million    it    makes 
yoi.i    wfindp.r    what  on   earth   Canada   has 
been    dreaming    about    all     these    years. 
Of    course    It    may  ;be    argued    that    it 
takes    years,  and    years    to    establish    a 
sheep  commtinlty,  but  It  does  not.  Take 
the  Orange  Free  Slate  In  South  Africa. 
Only  a  few  years  ago, the  industry  was 
practically    wiped    out.    but    by    careful 
organization    and      co-operation      it   has 
grown    until    today    that    small    country 
has    a    sheep    population,     of    8    million. 
The  Argentine  has   67   million  and   .Aus- 
tralia has   llfi   million,    which   of   course 
Is    the. greatest   of    them  all. 

"The  arguments  that  have  been  used 
in  B.  C.  in  regard  to  the  fruit  Indus-' 
try  applies  with  even  greater  force  to 
the  sheep  industry.  Of  all  the  mutton 
that  Is  corisuraod  in  the  province  only 
ten 'per  oeiil.  in  raiBwo  within  the  coun- 
try, the  remaining.  90  per  cent,  coming 
from  Australia.  New  Zealand,  and  the 
Eastern  provinces.  That  moons  not 
only  that  the  people  of  the  province  are 
ignoring  the"  cultivation  of  an  indus- 
try that  would  make  many  of  Its  in- 
habitants rich  but  tliat  the  conaumlng 
public  ere  eating,  to  a  very  large  ex- 
tent,  frozen   mutton. 

"Now,  I  have  nothing  in  the  world 
to  say  against  frozen  mullon.  But  I 
will  say  that  home-bred  mutton  Is  a 
great  deal  better:  and  when  I  reallxe 
as  I  do.  that  there  la  no  occaalori  for 
the  people  of  this  province  Importing 
frozen  mutton  I  cannot  help  feeling 
slightly  aggrieved.  Nothing  Is  gained 
by  the  importfitlon  of  mutton,  not  even 
to  the  consumer,  for  with  a  proper 
marketing  organization  It  would  be 
possible  for  the  farmers  of  this  prov- 
ince to  place  their  home-bred  mutton 
on  the  market  at  prices  comparable 
with  those-  for  which  life  Imported 
stock  la  sold.

••The    lic-heme.     as     outlined,    Is     very-

try has  taken  hold  and  the  farmers  are 
producing    extensively,      as    I    am    sure 
they    will    when    they    have    seen    with 
their  own  eyes   the  resuils   of   the   dem- 
onstration   farms,    the    government    pro-

more  adapted  for  sheep  graxlng  during 
the  winter  than  In  the  north.  Even  In 
the  very  severe  winters  her*,  and  I 
have  not  heard  that  you  have  had  any 
of  late,  sheep  do  not  require  much  »x- 
tra  feed,  and  then  only  for  a  few 
weeks.  I  state  thjs  fact  merely  In  or- 
der to  show  the  possibilities  of  the 
country.  The  practice  is  not  generally 
to  be  recommended,  as  It  Is  claimed 
that  better  results  ere  to  be  obtained 
by  allowing  a  little  extra  feed  during 
the  winter.  '

18    extremely    ricli    and    suitable    for    all 
lines    of    farming.      In   addition      to    all 
these   advantages    the    evor    present  and 
ever    increasing    market    must      be    con-

as    it   Is    and    as    It    might    be,    I    some- 
times   sigh    for    the    intelligence   of    the 
people;   and  then   of  course   I   renumber 
that   the   training  and   equipment  of   tlie 
v.onplP    are    not    of     the     character     that 
make    for    expert    farmers     right    away

cy  to  split  UP  the  ranch  into  small 
farms.  That  practice  has  been  the 
means  of  realizing  several  brilliant 
speculative    coups. 

'•For    instance,    take   a  fine    ranch    lo- 
cated  on   a   beautiful    property      near  a 
railroad    or   some    other    facility.      In    a 
very  short  time  the  settler  comes  along 
and  cuts  into   it.     Later   on  one  or   two 
more  settlers   come   in.     The   speculator 
then    sees    that    that    particular    section 
is  destined  to  become  a  little   township, 
fio   he   takes   hold   of  a   few    more   strips 
of    the    ranch  and   puts   dummy    tenants 
in       The    process      of    growth      goes    on 
until  it  becomes  necessary  for  the  spec-, 
ulator-s   land   to   be  purchus^jd  for   some 
reason    or   another   and    ho    reaps   a    big 
harvest  at  no  expense  whatever. 

'•Here    In    B.    C.    however,     that    prac- 
tice has  not  been  followed   to  the  same 
extent   arid    I    f«"^'    confident      that   with 
proper    educational    treatment      and    the 
operation    of    a    more    advanced    system 
of    organization    the    industry    of   sheep- 
raising    will    develop      with      surprising 
rapidity.      In    other    parts    of    the    Dom- 
inion   if   the   present  decadent  tendency 
is    not    checked.    1    would    not     be    sur- 
prised   to    find    the   ranching    business   a 
thing   of   the  past   in    the   next    twenty-

dum Round  Axe  Stone  has  several  decided  advan- 
tages. It  is  a  combination  stone  having  one  side 
coarse  grit  and  the  other  fine  grit,  the  same  stone 
takes  out  the  nicks  and  gives  the  finished  edge 
quickly,  and  it  is  of  such  convenient  size  and  shape 
as  to  be  easily  carried  in  the  workman's  pocket.
